The truth behind organ donation in Portugal 


It is not a widely-known fact, but anyone residing in Portugal, Portuguese or 
foreign, is presumed a consenting organ donor unless the contrary is 
manifested by obtaining a legal document that states the person does not 
want to be considered for donation upon his or her death. This is the basis of 
the country’s organ donation ‘Presumed Consent’ law, which whilst not 
totally mandatory (relatives’ consent in many cases is still sought), is 
believed by numerous researchers to be more effective in saving lives 
compared with the ‘registered consent’ system. It is also a topic that has 
frequently caused turbulent ethical debate. 



P ortugal’s ‘Presumed 

Consent’ law is contrary 
to that of the UK. In 
Britain, a person must 
manifest their wish to be a donor 
by registering and carrying a 
donor’s card. 

‘Presumed Consent’ is prac- 
tised in only a handful of other 
countries, including France, 


Spain, Australia and Belgium. 

Any national or expatriate 
with full legal residency in Por- 
tugal is subject to this law and 
seen as a potential and consent- 
ing donor if, after a post-mortem 
has been conducted, all the nec- 
essary requisites are fulfilled and 
the person has not officially de- 
clared their opposition. 


If a person is not willing to be 
a presumed-consenting donor, 
there is an option to ensure their 
rights and wishes are respected. 

RENND A - the N ational Reg- 
istry for Non-Donors - was cre- 
ated to be signed by anyone liv- 
ing in Portugal and wanting out 
of the ‘Presumed Consent’ law. 

This registry also aims to of- 
fer more information about dona- 
tion and transplants in Portugal, 
as well as an option to those who 
may be in doubt concerning 
‘mandatory’ organ donation, 
largely with foreign residents and 
immigrants in mind who come 
from countries where mandatory 
donation is not part of the health 
system, such as the UK. 

Enrolling on the non-donor 
registry can be done in any health 
centre across the country, or on- 
line. It is effective four days after 
receiving printed confirmation of 
enlistment. 

In Portugal, potential and pre- 
sumed donors include victims of 
untimely death, such as those in- 
volved in car accidents and those 
who are being kept on life sup- 
port machines after being pro- 
nounced clinically dead; those 
medically classified as brain- 
dead and those who have been 
autopsied due to a suspicious 
death but are considered suitable 
candidates. 

Routine health exams are car- 
ried out to assess their eligibility, 
which once verified, and with the 
family ’ s consent, the organ is re- 
moved by the hospital or, if the 
hospital does not have a specifi- 
cally trained team (as is the case 
at Portimao ’ s CHB A B arlavento 
Hospital), a specialist medical 
team is urgently dispatched to 
intervene and remove the organ. 

Viable recipients are then con- 
tacted through the Portuguese 
Transplant Association and 
given one hour to deliberate, and 
either accept or refuse. 

The recipient must then make 
their way to the hospital where 
the transplant will take place in 
as short a time as possible. 

In 2005, 6298 patients in Brit- 
ain were waiting for organ trans- 
plants, including 5502 waiting for 
kidney transplants, for which 
there is an average waiting period 
of 729 days. Surveys show that 
around 90 per cent of the UK 
population would be willing to 
donate organs after death, though 
only 12.5 million, around 21 per 
cent of the UK population, were 
on the NHS Organ Donor Regis- 
ter that year. 

In Portugal, 2004 was one of 
the country’s best years for ob- 
taining organs, taking third place 
amongst other EU countries and 
is also one of the European coun- 
tries where most transplants take 
place. 

However, figures have since 
fallen and currently only 18 or- 
gans are gained from every mil- 
lion inhabitants. 


The issue of transplants in 
Portugal was again recently 
thrust in to the limelight when 
Prime Minister Jose Socrates’ 
brother went to Spain to receive 
a lung transplant, an organ for 
which there is a great shortage in 
Portugal. 

So far this year, two lung trans- 
plants have taken place here, 
though it is estimated an average 
15-20 lung transplants are needed 
annually; a demand that is clearly 
not being satisfied. 

Only one hospital in Portugal 
- Hospital Santa Marta - under- 
takes this complex procedure. 

Eigures show that in 2005, 22 
hospitals were equipped to un- 
dertake transplants, the majority 
in Lisbon, at least six in Northern 
Portugal, two in Madeira / Porto 
Santo, and none in southern Por- 
tugal. 

That same year, 1432 trans- 
plants were conducted, including 
kidney, liver, heart, pancreas, 
lung, cornea and bone marrow 
transplants, extracted from 232 
donors at 37 hospitals around the 
country. 

Growing waiting lists and the 
unpredictability of when a suit- 
able candidate will emerge further 
complicate the matter. 

In 2004, Portimao ’s 
Barlavento Hospital (CHBA) 
was the only hospital not to reg- 
ister any donors; a year later, it 
supplied only one organ. 

Nonetheless, the hospital 
says it has all the facilities to keep 
potential donors in prime condi- 


tion until a specialist team of sur- 
geons removers arrive from Lis- 
bon, bringing with them all the 
necessary preservation and 
travel equipment. 

CHBA does not have trained 
specialists to carry out organ re- 
moval, though it is an area that is 
being looked into. 

According to the hospital’s 
clinical director. Dr. Pedro 
Quaresma, “It is not lack of fund- 
ing that has prevented this hap- 
pening before now, but lack of 
staff time, as there are only a hand- 
ful of surgeons who could be 
trained in this specialist area and 
volunteering their time that is al- 
ready over- stretched, is a prob- 
lem”. 

Dr. Quaresma told The Por- 
tugal News he believes that, 
“given the size of Portugal and its 
population, there is no need for 
transplants to be undertaken in 


the Algarve, nor is there a de- 
mand”. 

He explained that the law con- 
cerning transplants in Portugal is 
currently experiencing a shake- 
up, and is in revision. A recent 
law change has allowed the trans- 
planting of organs from live do- 
nors, which until recently was not 
permitted. 

However, few transplants 
have been carried out from live 
donors as in many cases exten- 
sive psychological exams, match 
probability and other health tests 
of both willing donors and recipi- 
ents make the procedure an ardu- 
ous affair. 

Last year, Portuguese organ 
transplant doctors and special- 
ists received 23 million euros in 
incentives, culminating in 1330 
transplants, which is less than the 
disappointing total recorded in 
2005.

Security forces offer free house surveillance

Government to teach 1 5 ,000 
immigrants Portuguese 



The ‘Portuguese for Everybody’ programme intends to teach 
Portuguese vocabulary, grammar and specific trade language to 15,000 
immigrants by 2013, facilitating their application for Portuguese 
nationality and also their integration into work/society. It will teach basic 
Portuguese for people learning the language or, for immigrants who 
already know the basics, teach technical vocabulary for five working 
areas: commerce, tourism, beauty treatments, civil construction and civil 
engineering. 


‘Portuguese for Everybody’ 
is integrated into the National 
Strategic Reference Framework 
(QREN) and will be co-financed 
by the European Social Fund. 

The schools, part of the Min- 
istry of Education and Profes- 
sional Vocational Course Col- 
leges, will teach both kinds of 
courses: the basic Portuguese 
and the technical Portuguese. 
The first will allow immigrants 
easier access to Portuguese na- 
tionality and residency and the 
latter will facilitate immigrants ’ 


integration into the working 
market. 

After obtaining the course cer- 
tificate, participants will not 
have to undergo the written exam 
to prove their knowledge of the 
Portuguese language. 

“It is a promising programme 
because it has the necessary fi- 
nancial means, the willingness of 
the schools and colleges and 
enough demand for it to work” 
said Silva Pereira, Minister for the 
Presidency, during the inaugura- 
tion of the ‘Portuguese for Eve- 


rybody’ programme, held at a 
school in Pa^o de Arcos, Oeiras. 
He also added the project is a 
meeting point between social 
policies and the real necessities 
of the immigrant population. 

The Government has already 
received 46 applications from 
teaching facilities, making €3.5 
million available for 7,500 immi- 
grants until 2009. 

The programme aims to get 
15,000 participants by 2013 
with a total investment of €1 1 .5 
million. 



Within the scope of the ‘Safe Summer - direct key’ programme, Portugal’s 
two major security forces have guaranteed a free service to home owners 
until September 15*^ which will have their homes put under surveillance 
during their absence on holiday. 


This service, part of the ‘Safe 
summer-directkey’ programme, 
allows home owners to rest as- 
sured during their absence as the 
surveillance is “systematic and 
methodical” and they will be con- 
tacted immediately if the GNR or 
PSP encounter any anomalies. 

Last year this service looked 
after 5,997 residences and only 
four were robbed. 


Despite this free service, the 
PSP and GNR still give advice on 
their website, reminding people 
to use preventative measures 
whilst away on holiday such as 
installing an alarm, make the 
house look occupied (leave a 
light turned on in a room), lock 
all doors and windows prop- 
erly, do not let strangers know 
you will be away, do not allow 


correspondence to accumulate in 
the mailbox, let a trustworthy 
neighbour know you are leaving, 
and keep all jewellery, cash and 
valuable objects in a safe place. 

Requests for house surveil- 
lance can be made by complet- 
ing a form found at local police 
stations as well as on the 
Internet at: http://veraoseguro 
.mai.gov.pt/. 


Med diet reduces cancerrisk 

According to a report published in the British Journal of Cancer, a Mediterranean diet can 
reduce the risk of developing cancer from 1 2 to 24%. More vegetables and substituting 
butter for olive oil bring most benefits. 


Reducing the intake of meat 
and increasing onesconsumption 
of vegetables and herbs whilstus- 
ing olive oil instead of butter leads 
towards a lower risk of develop- 
ing cancer, states the study. 
Cooking with good fats like olive 
oil, instead of greasy fats, such as 
fat found in fries, biscuits and 
cakes, has the largest impact in 
preventing cancer, reducing the 
risk by 9%. 

For the study 25,623 Greeks, 
of which 10,582 were male, were 
observed over an eight year pe- 


riod. During observation the sub- 
jects received questionnaires to 
answer about 150 distinct types 
of food and drink, as well as their 
respective quantities. 

To assess the benefits of the 
Mediterranean diet of the stud- 
ied people, a scale for each one of 
the nine different food groups 
was measured. For example, if 
the subjects ate lots of vegetables, 
fruits and cereals they were clas- 
sified with a ‘ r and with a ‘0’ if 
they did not. Those who drank 
with moderation would be given 


a ‘ r and those who abused their 
alcohol intake would be given a 
‘0’ and so on for the different cat- 
egories. 

The centralperson behind the 
study, Dimitrios Trichopoulos, 
Cancer Prevention Professor at 
Harvard University, stressed 
on the importance of a healthy 
diet to prevent cancer “of the 
26,000 people studied, the ones 
that followed a traditional 
Mediterranean diet generally 
had less chance of developing 
cancer.”

Child obesity soars during school holidays 







Nearly three dozen overweight children between the ages of 10 and 16 enjoy healthy activities, while learning about 
good diet at a new holiday camp in Alfeizerao, Alcobaga. (Photo: Lusa / Paulo Cunha) 



A recent study from the paediatric obesity 
department in the Santa Maria Hospital, 
Lisbon, has shown that children tend to 
gain more weight during the summer 
holidays, towards the end of school year 
and during family vacations. 


T o avoid more weight gain by 
spending their holidays watch- 
ing TV and playing computer 
games , the hospital has created 
Portugal’s first ‘Holiday 
Camp’ for overweight chil- 
dren, realising long held dream. 


The camp currently comprises 
30 youngsters aged between 10 
and 16 years. A range of activities 
have been organised along with 
medical accompaniment, to help 
those enrolled achieve their target 
weight.

the Ordem da Lapa Hos- 
pital, in Oporto, in a port- 
able pool, was accompa- 
nied by two nurses, an ob- 
stetrician, and a 
pediatrician. 


Though he was the seven- 
teenth baby in the country to 
be born in a birthing pool, 
Simao Pedro was the first to 
be born in a hospital unit. 

All the other babies were 
born in home environments. 

Worldwide, 45,000 water 
births have been registered.

New scheme to boost 
milk consumption 


In response to requests and 
suggestions of Member States 
and the European Parliament, the 
European Commission has 
adopted a new version of the EU 
School Milk Scheme with simple 
and clear implementation rules 
that provides a larger range of 
healthy dairy products to more 
children. 

“The School Milk Scheme has 
both a nutritional and educational 
character and contributes to the 
fight against obesity, providing 
essential elements for children’ s 
growth and health,” said Mariann 
EischerBoel, Commissioner for 
Agriculture and Rural Develop- 
ment. 

“Now, with simpler rules and 
more attractive products avail- 
able, we expect even more 
schools, including secondary 
schools, will participate in the 
School Milk Scheme”, she added. 

The EU subsidy will now 
cover a wider range of dairy prod- 
ucts: from traditional drinking 
milk to cheeses, including certain 
plain or fruited fermented milk 
products, such as yoghurt, but- 
termilk, kephir etc. The Member 
states are able to choose the prod- 
ucts they wish to distribute, pay- 
ing particular attention to low-fat 
dairy products. 

Eurthermore, the scheme will 
benefit a larger number of chil- 
dren, as secondary schools will 
benefit from the same access to 
the scheme as nursery and pri- 
mary schools. 

This renewed version re- 
sponds to a number of requests 
from the Member States and the 
European Parliament. Together 
with the Commission proposal 
for an EU School Emit Scheme 
presented on July 8*, the new 


School Milk Scheme, applying 
from August 2008, had in- 
creased attention from the 
Commission as regards 
healthier diet and eating habits 
for children. 

The EU support for milk dis- 
tribution has existed with vari- 
ous modifications for more than 
30 years. In the 2006/2007 
school year, the equivalent of 


305,000 tonnes of milk was dis- 
tributed in schools in 22 Member 
States with the Community pro- 
viding more than € 50 million. 

With the new scheme, it is ex- 
pected that in future even more 
schools will participate, allowing 
and encouraging children to replace 
low-quality food and drinks with 
convenient, high-quality dairy 
products.

EU sounds 
alarm on 
116 child 
hotline 
delays 

Parents and children need 
to be able to call help 
quickly and free of charge 
while travelling in the EU, 
the European Commission 
said in a recent statement. 


In the UK and Belgium alone 
more than 7,500 children were re- 
ported missing in 2007 
(www. missing 
childreneurope .eu) . 

Public concern about child 
safety has been heightened by 
cases like the disappearance of 
Madeleine McCann in Portugal. 
In 2007, the Commission took 
action by reserving, at national 
level, six-digit numbers starting 
with 116 for missing children 
hotlines (116000) and for 
helplines (116111) with which 
children can seek assistance. 

However, a recent EU survey 
shows that only a minority of 
Member States have assigned 
these numbers to service provid- 
ers : seven for 1 1 6000 and ten for 
116111. 

The EC has called on Member 
States to speed up implementa- 



A young Portuguese man has earned 
himself a place amongst the world’s most 
talented Poker players after winning at least 
$25,000 in Las Vegas which he hopes to 
double by remaining in the game. 


Twenty-five year old Diogo 
Borges, who was one of 666 play- 
ers to reach the final phase of the 
championship, was initially one 
of almost 7,000 people taking 
part in the game. 

After three daily 12-hour 
marathons, he took the signifi- 
cant cash prize and became the 
first Portuguese player in his- 
tory to win such a large amount 
in what is the biggest tournament 
in the world. 

Now he is looking to take a 
place amongst the top 200. 

With 500,000 chips to play 
with plus his cash prize Diogo 
vowed to stay in the game and try 
to at least double his winnings. 


The Las Vegas Championship 
is the largest and most lucrative 
in the world; taking 100'^ place 
equals a cash prize of around U.S . 
$51,000. 

The top nine classified play- 
ers will compete against each 
other in November, again in Las 
Vegas, to thrash out the first place 
prize, anything in the region of 
9. 1 million U.S. dollars. 

Diogo first learned to play 
poker just two years ago and re- 
alized his natural understanding 
of the game was much more than 
just beginners luck. 

His overall goal is to reach 35 
years of age with enough winnings 
to live off for the rest of his life.

tion of these numbers. Under EU 
law Member States do not have 
to assign the numbers, but are 
required to reserve them and in- 
form the public and providers of 
their availability. The survey 
shows few efforts by Member 
States to make known the num- 
bers’ availability, delaying their 
implementation. 

“A year ago the Commission 
called for European 116 phone 
numbers to make it easier for par- 
ents and children to call for help,” 
said Viviane Reding, EU 
Telecoms Commissioner. “So far 
only Hungary has taken all the 
necessary steps to get 1 16 serv- 
ices upandrunning. lapplaud this 


example, but alarm bells should 
be ringing in the other 26 Mem- 
ber States.” 

The EU Commissioner added: 
“Under the EU’ s Charter of Eun- 
damental Rights, signed by all EU 
Member States, the rights of the 
child must be protected. Itis apity 
that in many countries action 
doesn’t seem to follow words 
when it comes to implementing 
numbers that can provide pre- 
cious help to parents and chil- 
dren. The Commission has done 
its part of the job and hopes that 
it won’t be necessary to start le- 
gal proceedings on a matter where 
there should be broad consen- 
sus.”

Portugal fully behind 
newly created Med Union 


The Mediterranean Union, 
launched at the weekend at a Paris 
summit of 43 heads of state and 
government, is “a step forward” 
in relation to the EU’s existing 
Barcelona Process, says Portu- 
guese Foreign Minister Luis 
Amado. 

Speaking on Sunday on the 
sidelines of the Paris leaders’ 
gathering, Amado said he hoped 
the new Mediterranean Union 
will develop to “give a more effi- 
cient response to the problems we 
are confronting in this region”, 
the Lusa News Agency reported 
earlier this week. 

Although the EU’ s Barcelona 
Process, launched in 1995 to fos- 
ter cooperation between the 
northern and southern shores of 
the Mediterranean, has pro- 
duced some tangible results, all 
states involved acknowledge this 
cooperation “has not corre- 
sponded to expectations that cre- 
ated it, particularly on the other 
sideofthe Mediterranean,” added 
Portugal’s top diplomat. 

“I believe the Mediterranean 
Union is a step forward in rela- 
tion to the Barcelona Process,” 
said Amado, noting the fact that 


nearly all leaders from both blocs 
had come to the Paris su mm it was 
“a good sign.” 

French President Nicolas 
Sarkozy used the Paris meeting 
to urge leaders from states includ- 
ing Syria and Israel to build peace 
together. Noting the “enormous 
tensions from very serious con- 
flicts in this region,” Portugal’s 
foreign minister said he believed 
the summit could “contribute in 
a very relevant manner to the geo- 
political stability of the Mediter- 
ranean region.” 

But despite the high turnout of 
leaders in Paris, continuing and 
often arduous dialogue is needed 
between many Mediterranean 
and Middle East states to end 
various ongoing conflicts, cau- 
tioned Amado. 

The Mediterranean Union, 
brainchild of France’ s president, 
has been criticized by many 
states in Africa south of the Sa- 
hara for only including countries 
from the north of the continent. 

Acknowledging these African 
concerns, Amado said President 
Sarkozy’ s fledgling ‘Club Med’ 
must develop close ties with both 
the European and African Unions . 



Portugal signs cooperation accord with Aga Khan 


The Portuguese government has signed a cooperation pact with the Aga Khan Development Network during a visit to 
Portugal of the Aga Khan, Imam to the world’s 1 5 million Ismaili Muslims. The cooperation accord was inked Friday in 
Lisbon by Portuguese Foreign Minister Luis Amado and the Aga Khan in the presence of Jose Socrates, Portugal’s 
Prime Minister, the Lusa News Agency reported. The photo shows Foreign Minister, Luis Amado (R), welcoming the

The Socialist Youth Party (JS) wants Portuguese Law changed, allowing transsexuals 
to change their name and sex at the Civil Registry. The only candidate for the General 
Secretary of JS, Duarte Cordeiro, hopes his motion will make the law clear rather than 
giving the power of a decision to judges, a procedure that has seen unequal outcomes.

In the document, entitled 
‘Acting for Equality’, JS’s fu- 
ture leader says the current legal 
situation makes name and gen- 
der change on ID ’ s “long and ex- 
ceedingly restrictive, with ob- 
ligatory police intervention” 
and cases always produce “dif- 
ferent outcomes, depending on 
the magistrates’ level of prepa- 
ration and sensitivity towards 
the matter”. The change of iden- 
tity on official documents is up 
to the courts’ decision and 
Duarte Cordeiro defends that 
“equality and the free develop- 
ment of personality cannot be 
dependent upon the absence of 
prejudice of the person decid- 
ing.” 

The motion is calling upon 
Spain’s example of a unique 
measure used for all cases to 
avoid disparities. It also ap- 
proaches social issues, promot- 
ing education, work and accom- 
modation for youths and the 
controversial issues such as gay 
marriage and adoption for gay 
couples. Just like his predeces- 
sor, Duarte Cordeiro believes in 
gay marriage and the chance for 
gay couples to adopt children. 
Another touchy subject he 
shows intentions of dealing with 
is the legalisation of prostitution 
“Legalising the activity (prosti- 
tution) would allow for the iden- 
tification of poverty and social 
exclusion factors, it would con- 
tribute to the diminishment of 
sexual exploitation and would 
offer legal protection to people 
who choose to work in this sec- 
tor.” Legalising C class drugs and 
debating euthanasia are further 
plans on his agenda for future 
years. 


B According to a report issued by the United 
Nations, the Iberian Peninsula is the main 
entry point for most drugs trafficked across 
Europe. Spain is the most used of the two 
countries for cocaine smuggling, with 
authorities having seized 50 metric tonnes of 
the substance in 2006. With tonnage as 
follows: Holland (11), France (10) and Italy (5) 
are the countries with most drug 
apprehensions. 


The United Nations Office on 
Drugs and Crime (UNODC), 
based in Vienna, explained that 
66% of apprehensions occurred 
whilst the cocaine was still at sea, 
11% via other means and 6% at 
airports. 

The most frequent locations 
for apprehensions in the last cou- 
ple of years, together with the 
traditional Atlantic Spanish 
Ports such as Galiza, were in 
Andaluzia, B arcelona and V alen- 
cia, with the drugs arriving by air. 

The report also confirmed the 
existence of local cocaine pro- 
duction in Spain, despite authori- 
ties having dismantled ten drug 
laboratories in 2006. 

All substances apprehended 
before reaching the Spanish coast 


were arriving from South 
America, more specifically from 
Venezuela (31% of all confis- 
cated drugs), Dominican Repub- 
lic (8%), Ecuador (6%), Brazil 
and Argentina (5 %) and Colom- 
bia (4%). 

However, gangs trafficking the 
substances are from Colombia in 
23% of cases, Morocco (11%), 
Dominican Republic (6%), Ro- 
mania(3%) and United Kingdom, 
Portugal and Italy (2% each). 

The report also drew the con- 
clusion that the main reasons for 
the rising drug consumption in 
Europe is due to the steady price 
of cocaine and the level of purity 
remaining high over the last dec- 
ade, despite drug apprehensions 
being more frequent.

Shopping basket shows hefty increases 


The Portugal News quarterly shopping 
basket shows Portugal now as 15.49% more 
expensive than the UK, double the 
percentage comparison estimated in 
January 2008 


Every six months, The Portu- 
gal News publishes an average 
shopping basket comparing 
costs between the UK and Por- 
tugal. The last shopping basket 
(January 2008), comparing prod- 
ucts from TESCO in the UK and 
CONTINENTE in Portugal, 
showed that Portugal was 7.87% 
more expensive than the UK. The 
July 2008, figure, released today, 
shows this has increased to 
15.49%, almost double the Janu- 
ary figure. 


Water is three times more 
expensive in Portugal 

Portugal is still slightly less 
expensive for petrol and diesel, 
and electricity is 33% less expen- 
sive in Portugal, but water for 
domestic users is over three times 
more expensive than the UK. 
Taking into consideration the 
salary levels in Portugal, com-

tract tourists bent on acquiring art 
or adding to their art collections. 

As a public accountant in that 
city of 60,000 inhabitants, I could 
count many clients from the small 
business and art community. 
Referrals were not unusual. So 
when this shopkeeper called, I 
soon learned that he had not filed 
any tax returns for a number of 
years. And so IRS was on the 
prowl, insisting he file the last 
three years . After a few moments 
of conversation in which he dis- 
closed using one checking ac- 
count for all his business activ- 
ity, I advised: ‘Put together for 
me three years of bank state- 
ments. We will first have to cre- 
ate year-end financial statements 
from those statements for each of 
the three years, and then from 
those statements prepare the tax 
returns.’ 

We met the following week. He 
had dutifully put together the 
statements. I discovered that he 
made and sold attractive decora- 
tor pillows. He rented a small 
space in a larger gallery to display 
his works. 

In the coming week, the finan- 
cial statements and tax returns 
were prepared. For each year, the 
shopkeeper had had a net profit 
of approximately $10,000. His 
tax liability for each year, though, 
was over $2,500. In 1988, the 
Social Security Administration 
published that the poverty level 
of a single person in America was 
someone who earned no more 
than $6,000 in a year. Santa Fe 
being one of the most expensive 
small cities in America would 
have put this person at the pov- 
erty level. 

The idea behind a graduated tax 
system is that everyone should 
contribute his or her fair share to 
the tax treasury regardless of liv- 
ing circumstances. But should 
contributions be enforced when 
the income is at or near the pov- 
erty level? It would perhaps be 
fairer if a tax structure were some- 
thing like the following. Suppose

New labour 
codes postponed 
for after summer 
holidays 

Due to delays in completing the document, 
the new work code, which the government 
initially intended to debate in July before 
parliament breaks for holidays, has been 
postponed until September to 
accommodate the seasonal summer 
break. 



The matter was discussed at a 
leaders conference, two weeks 
after the Mayor asked for a re- 
duction in public debate time, 
from 30 to 20 days, before the end 
of the legislative session in July. 

Conference spokesperson, 
deputy Celeste Correia, ex- 
plained the change in plans is due 


to “delays in completing the new 
law proposal”. 

The proposed revision of the 
Work Code has been contested 
by the PCP, BE and CGTP-In 
political parties, who organised 
amass-protestin June, in Lisbon, 
in which around 200,000 people 
took part.

Smoking Law used as 
escape goat 


Five workers have been fired 
so far in Portugal after employ- 
ers utilized the Smoking Law 
claiming they had noted produc- 
tivity falls due to their workers’ 
habits. Some people say these 
court cases are due to financial 
difficulties small and medium 
sized companies are facing and 
they are using the Smoking Law 
as a pretext to fire people they 
don’t want. 

With the new Smoking Law 
imposed in January, court cases 
have been accumulating against 
smokers. 

By the end of May the Small 
and Medium Sized Companies 
National Association (ANPME) 
recognised a total of 1 2 cases high- 
lighting the lack of productivity 
related to smoking. One month 
later, in June, the number of cases 
more than doubled. 

Augusto Morals, President of 
ANPME, says the motives for the 
dismissals are due to “the finan- 
cial difficulties companies are go- 


ing through and the necessity to 
relieve costs”, with the Smoldng 
Lawused“as a pretext to fire peo- 
ple they don’t want” adding “we 
are on the side of the productivity 
claim, but there are situations that 
cry for common sense.” It should 
be remembered, employees fired 
withjust cause, as they are in these 
cases, are not entitled to unem- 
ployment benefits. 

The law prohibits smoking in 
any workplace unless smoking 
areas are created, separated by a 
physical barrier or a ventilation 
device. Many employers choose 
not to create these areas as it pro- 
motes non-productivity, forcing 
employees to smoke in bath- 
rooms or outside buildings; al- 
lowing employers to use the ‘lost 
working-time’ motive to sack 
their workers. 

ANPME lawyer, Vieira de 
Carvalho, fears that now there 
will be a ‘copy-cat effect’ and 
disciplinary hearings will multi- 
ply. 


Apple’s new iPhone 3G 
flies off the shelves 


Portuguese people’s need to 
own the most technologically ad- 
vanced phones definitely showed 
last week when the new genera- 
tion iPhone went on sale at mid- 
night on Thursday, July 10*. 
Thousands queued outside 
Vodafone and Optimus’ shops to 
be some of the first to own the 
new shout in technology. 

Apple’s marketing could not 
have been better: the simultane- 
ous launch of Apple’s crown 
jewel in 22 countries caused hys- 
teria around the world, thou- 
sands of people skiving off work, 
queuing for hours, just to be one 
of the first to own the technologi- 
cal prize. 

The hefty price tag, between 
€499.90 and €599.90 unblocked 
for aU networks, for the new gadget 
did not dissuade buyers as hun- 
dreds of people walked home with 
the new device in their possession. 


On its first weekend in stores, 
Apple claim they sold more than 
one million iPhones worldwide, 
the same amount being reached 
after 73 days with the previous 
model. 

The 3G iPhone is considered 
the top of the range phone at the 
moment and many people say the 
price is reasonable as it offers not 
only the best technology, avail- 
able in other smart phones, but 
also the design, which they say 
is unbeatable. 

Vodafone and Optimus sales 
representatives have been 
amazed by the quantity of 
phones sold in its first week. Luis 
Esteves, Vodafone sales director 
for the North of Portugal, said 
“purchases are exceeding our ex- 
pectations”, explaining four 
more Vodafone shops were 
opened during the night to satisfy 
the demand. 


Tax, from p. 11 

a person’s average income is 
$5,000 and his necessary ex- 
penses amount to the same sum, 
then no taxes should be collected 
from him. If another person’s 
income is $10,000 and his neces- 
sary expenses are $5,000, then he 
could be assessed 10% since there 
will be no decline in his standard 
of living. If a third person has an 
income of $20,000 and his costs 
of living are determined to be 
$10,000, he should be assessed 
twice the amount or 20% of the 
person earning $10,000. And if 
still another person earns 
$50,000 and his expenses are 
$20,000, then he should pay 
30% ofhis income in taxes. But 
if an indigent person has an in- 
come of $4,000 where the pov- 
erty level is determined to be 
$5,000 and he sacrifices to make 
his living but the fruit ofhis labor 
is inadequate, he should be helped 
from the treasury so as not to live 
in want. 

So a fair graduated tax system 
would not impose taxes on the 
lower income earners. It would 
help those whose incomes are 
below the poverty level. It would 
not impose excessive tax rates on 
middle income levels so as to en- 
courage their productivity and 
contributing to economic growth. 

As to high income earners, 
America between 1944 and 1963 
imposed inmost of these years 85% 
+ on taxable income levels over 
$400,000 ($4,000,000 today). So 
the idea that the wealthy should 
also pay their fair share was once 
acceptable. But given the anemic 
condition of the economy and the 
treasury today, it could again be- 
come acceptable. In America, the 
top bracket is 39.6%.

Fourteen 
people 
arrested in 
Lisbon 

Judiciary Police an- 
nounced the arrest of twelve 
men and two women for bur- 
glary, forgery, fraud and 
money laundering, among 
other crimes, last week during 
the operation ‘Check Mate’. 

Investigations have been 
carried out over the past eight 
months and during the raid 
eight vehicles, amotorbike, 34 
mobile phones, eight LCD 
TV’s, lots of stereo equip- 
ment, high quality furniture, 
prestigious clothing and gold 
jewellery were seized, at an 
estimated value of €200,000. 

The criminal gang also stole 
correspondence deposited in 
postboxes, taking possession 
of any cheques found in them, 
“When in possession of the 
cheques, the criminals falsi- 
fied the endorsements and 
went to draw the money, al- 
tering the amounts to larger 
sums in some situations” said 
Judiciary Police, adding “Di- 
verse material used for the 
forgeries, namely three type- 
writers, nine printers, several 
reams of coloured paper iden- 
tical to document paper, 
stamps, forged documents 
and others still to be issued 
were also seized.” 

Around €40,000 together 
with more in foreign currency 
and over 50 cheques, valued 
over €200,000, were also held. 
Investigations found that the 
value of cheques deposited 
surpassed €47 1 ,000 and Judi- 
ciary Police were able to 
‘freeze’ around €300,000. 

Investigations are proceed- 
ing to discover who and how 
many others are involved. 


It was feared all sixteen workers at a building site were 
buried alive when the main fagade of a hotel under 
renovations collapsed last week in Caldas da Rainha. New 
safety plans have been demanded for the completion of 
renovations for Hotel Lisbonense and its complementary 
Commercial Centre. 


Only one of the sixteen labour- 
ers working at the Lisbonense Ho- 
tel, in Caldas da Rainha, needed 
hospital assistanee after the wall 
caved in. Paulo Jorge Cruz, 32 
years old, only sustained injuries 
to his left leg as he was inside acon- 
duit when the building fell on top 
of it, taking the force of the debris . 

Work Conditions Authority 
(ACT) was present at the site and 
ordered the immediate suspension 
of aU work, only after the company 
(FD012) presents “an adequate 
safety plan where all specific risks 
of the job are assessed” can work 
be resumed. 

The injured man was working 
right beneath the wall when it col- 
lapsed and the other fifteen work- 
ers managed to escape beforehand. 


one of them finding shelter from a 
piece of equipment. People as- 
sisting after the collapse said “It 
was a lucky moment for every- 
body.” 

Mayor, Fernando Costa, in a 
public statement said the council 
“demands thereconstmction of the 
fagade” adding “all preventive 
measures were taken for the old 
hotel’s outline to be preserved. 
Now that is has collapsed it must 
berebuilt.” He also guaranteed that 
both projects, the renovation of the 
hotel and building the commercial 
centre, were suitably approved and 
also that there were never any 
safety alerts before the incident. 

The only vietim of the collapse 
left hospital on the same day with 
no major injuries. 


Speed traps 
slowing ftaffic 


In the firsthalf of this year, Lis- 
bon’ s 21 radar traps registered 
80,307 speeding offences, a 69% 
reduction compared to last year’ s 
second semester, showing that 
these speed monitors are effec- 
tively slowing down traffic. 

The eapital’s 21 radar traps 
started functioning on July 16'*' 
last year, plus a few alterations to 
speed limi ts. In Avenida Infante 
D Henrique for example, due to a 
pubhe petition, the speed limit 
was increased from 50km/h to 
80km/h. 

Interestingly, the radar that 
caught most speeding drivers this 
year was the one situated in 
Avenida Infante D. Henrique 
with 18,491 occurrences, whilst 


Discover the 
Brazilian 
beauty here 


the radar with least occurrences 
was the one located just outside 
the tunnel on Avenida Joao XXI 
with only 439 offences. 

When referring to the severity 
of the offences, the ‘very seri- 
ous’ increased relative to last 
year with 5,170 incidents, 631 
more, however lighter offenees 
diminished to 23,722. 

Drivers eaught speeding on 
the capital’ s roads face fines from 
€60 up to €2,500, depending on 
the severity of the offence. If 
drivers are caught exceeding the 
speed limit up to 20km/h over, a 
€60 to €300 fine is applied; be- 
tween 20km/h and 40km/h over 
it increases to between € 1 20 and 
€600; between 40km/h and 
60km/h over represents a fine 
ranging ft om€800 to €1 ,500 and 
from €500 to €2,500 if adriver is 
caught speeding 60km/h over the 
limit. 

Money originating from fines 
applied to drivers caught by ra- 
dar traps is split between the 
National Road Traffie Author- 
ity (ANSR), taking 20% of the 
money, Lisbon Town Hall 
(30%), the State (40%) and Lis- 
bon’ s Civil Government (10%).

Golf fundraising weekend seeures over €100,000 for loeal eharities 


The Vigia Group’ s flagship golf 
and leisure resort - Parque da 
Floresta hosted the third of its 
annual charity weekends last 
week raising well over € 1 00,000 
for local charities. 

The Fund, supported mainly 
by local businesses, golf club 
members and guests of Parque da 


Horesta was set up in 2006 to raise 
money for local charities at every 
available opportunity throughout 
the year. However once a year, 
supporters meet for a weekend of 
golf and entertainment with the 
primary function to help raise 
funds for Algarve charities. In its 
three years of existence so far, the 


Charity Fund Weekend has 
proved to be ahuge success, rais- 
ing over €240,000 net. 

The main event-sponsors this 
year were the insurance compa- 
nies, Marsh Mercer Kroll, Global 
and Victoria. 

Only local charities benefit from 
this annual event. This year, ben- 


eficiaries have included the NECI 
School for Handicapped Children, 
Fagos Orphanage, Cancer Care 
Facilities (Associa^ao Oncologica 
do Algarve) The Figueira Senior 
Citizens Day Centre and the Vila 
do Bispo Bombeiros. 

On the Friday night, guests at- 
tended a welcome dinner with en- 
tertainment provided by UK co- 
median Kevin Orkian and local 
band Branded. Saturday evening 
was a country and western themed 
night and featured the well known 
UK country band Blackwood 
Trio. 

Saturday’ s main golf event was 
an AmAm, won by the resort’s 
Golf Director Alan Hodson, his 
wife Forrie, son Martin and friend 
Chris Ball. A charity auction was 
held in the evening with some en- 
viable lots on offer.

prize was a seven night break in a 
luxury apartment in V enice which 
secured a magnificent €4,000 and

Nick Parker. A golfing holiday in 
Newfoundland, Canada, pre- 
sented by Walter Kharas was 
auctioned for €3 ,500 and a picture 
painted by the children at NECI 
(School for Handicapped Chil- 
dren) contributed €2,000. This 
sparked off two additional orders 
for NECI paintings, fetching afur- 
ther €3,000.

Lagoa teaches children road safety 



During their summer holidays 
the children of Lagoa have been 
given an energy- spending educa- 
tional alternative, a chance to 
learn more about road safety and 
awareness at a brand new mini- 
circuit. 

Financed by the local City Hall 
and inaugurated this year with 
pomp-and-circumstance, it was 
created to educated children 
about road signs and the road 
code, as well as giving them the 
opportunity to spend energy by 
cycling and carting around the 
circuit. 

By actively travelling around 


the circuit children are encouraged 
to apply road rules, stopping at 
stop signs and crossings, giving 
way at triangles and respecting 
speed limits, etc. 

Whilst doing this they are also 
learning civil road behaviour, 
sharpening their own awareness 
and better protecting themselves 
from less-educated road users. 

At present supervised lessons 
are being given as part of the mu- 
nicipality’ s council-organised 
Summer holiday programme. 

Children aged between eight 
and 14, enrolled in the pro- 
gramme and divided into six age

Classic Cars gathering in the Algarve 



Kite Masters Portimao 
World Tour a success 


The biggest classic car meet of the Iberian Peninsula was held between 
July 4'^ and 6*^ this year, gathering 1 60 classic cars in a programme that 
was split between the sightseeing and the sport route. Pedro Lamy, 
former Portuguese F1 driver, participated in the event this summer. 


A First for the International 
School Sao Lourengo 
Scholarship Programme 

The International School Sao Lourengo is 
pleased to announce that it has received 

its first scholarships under its new 

Scholarship Programme. 


Sunny skies and strong winds 
made conditions perfect for the 
Kite Masters Portimao World 
Tour this year. Charles Deleau 
and Kevin Langeree took home 
first prizes in the Race and Free- 
style events, respectively. 

The third Kite Master World 
T our in Portimao ended last Sun- 
day, not without a hiccup though. 
The final race of the competition 
had to be restarted; at the first at- 
tempt to start, the wind died com- 
pletely and all the kites fell into 


the sea. Event leader Charles 
Deleau consequently got injured 
when an unexpected gust of wind 
flung his kite’ s bar into him, his 
injury causing him to miss the fi- 
nal race. 

Sean Farley won the regatta, 
springing to second place in the 
event Charles Deleau taking the 
first prize, having won 8 out of 
the 1 2 regattas held over the five 
day competition. Spanish kiter 
Sami Gali deservedly took third 
place overall. 


The three women competing 
in the Female Race all stood on 
the podium: third place for 
Fabienne Dortoli, second for 
Gina Esteva and Steph Bridge 
was the fastest among the fe- 
males. All were very happy 
with Portimao’ s event “mainly 
because there is only wind in 
the afternoon, so we can go out 
at night” said Dortoli and 
Bridge, jokingly. 

The Freestyle event brought 
great news for Portugal as 
unsponsored rider Rui Meira 
achieved third place, Sebastian 
Garat placed second and Kevin 
Langaree, the flying Dutch- 
man, took home the glory: 
“The event was awesome, 
good wind, good supporting 
crowds, 1 won again, just like 
last year, and I hope to be back 
next year.” 

Kite Masters Portimao 
W orld T our delivered yet again 
in Portimao and hopefully it 
will be returning next year. 


In this year’s Algarve Classic 
Cars rally the vehicles travelled 
around 250 kilometres through 
several Algarve councils (Louie, 
Albufeira, S. Bras de Alportel, 
Silves, Lagoa and Portimao). 

Many classic brands were rep- 
resented throughout the vast col- 
lection of cars, with over forty 
brands in total, built from 1 9 1 5 to 
1979, such as Aston Martin, Rolls 
Royce, Bentley, Porsche, Jaguar, 
BMW among others. 

As is tradition, the cars gathered 
at VilamouraMarina on the Friday 
morning and then drove the tradi- 
tional V hamoura Casino Circuit in 
the afternoon. 

During the weekend aU partici- 
pants of the L‘ BP Ultimate Stage 
competed in a series of special clas- 
sification stages, passing through 
S. Bras de Alportel and Louie, end- 
ing at Albufeira’ s BP petrol station 
where the 2"‘* stage took off soon 
after, en route to Carvoeiro. 

Lunch was taken at the Tivoli 
Hotel at Portimao Marina and the 
third leg, the Murganheira Stage, 
began at Portimao’ s riverside area. 
The highlight for this section was 
the Armagao de Pera circuit where 
the classics showed their racing po- 
tential on the track. Dinnerwasheld 
backatVilamouraCasino where the 
participation trophies were 
awarded. The 4*^ stage, the AUgarve 
Stage, starting from Vilamoura, 
began on Sunday morning and all 
racers headed off to Almancil’s 
Kart Circuit to finish with a com- 
plementary racing event. 

After a long, arduous weekend, 
the winners of the 15 classes were 
announced in Vilamoura Marina 
on Sunday afternoon. Winners 
were as follows in different classes : 
Veterans Class - Pedro Pinto in a 
Ford T Speedster 1915; Vintage - 
Epitacio Leal in a Ford A 1929; 
Post- V intage - Helder V alente in 
anMG VATourer 1938; Post-War 
-NunoMadeirainaMercedes 190 
SL 1956; Post 1960 - Pedro 
Jeronimo/Carlos Hipolito in a 
Porsche 356 Cabriolet and last but 
not least G Class - Marta Queiroz 
in a Porsche 924 Turbo. 


Two scholarships were 
awarded at the end of year award 
ceremony which took place at 
the school on Friday 27th June 
2008. Both these awards were 
for academic excellence. 

Miss Aine Campbell re- 
ceived the Hanbury Scholar- 
ship. This was presented to her 
by Mr Tony Scott from 
Hanbury, one of the largest 
project management companies 
in the Algarve. Mr Tony Scott 
is the proj ect manager for the In- 
ternational School Sao 
Lourengo’ s forthcoming new 
school building, situated in 
Almancil. 

Miss Rachel Haenow re- 
ceived the Governors Scholar- 


ship which is sponsored by the 
school’s Board of Governors. 

The school would like to 
thank both Tony Scott and 
Hanbury, and the B oard of Gov- 
ernors for their very kind 
sponsorships. Both Miss 
Campbell and Miss Haenow will 
be going into Year 1 2 this com- 
ing September and their schol- 
arships will cover a substantial 
portion of their fees for the next 
two academic years whilst they 
are taking their A Levels. 

If you or your company 
would be interested in sponsor- 
ing a scholarship at the school 
please contact the school by 
calling 289 398 328 or e-mail-

Jesus Christ Superstar coming to 
Portimao 



The famous rock opera Jesus Christ 
Superstar, created by Andrew Lloyd 
Webber and Time Rice, produced by 
Filipe La Feria, will premiere on August 1®' 
at Portimao Arena, with daily shows, at 
22h00, until the end of the month. 


Created in 1970 by Andrew 
Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, the 
show tells the story of Christ 
through Judas’ eyes. Inspired by 
the most important story of all 
time, Jesus Christ Superstar is 
still as timeless and relevant, as it 
was when it first hit the stage. 

Only after turning into an in- 
ternationally recognised musical 
did the piece get on to the movie 
screens, thanks to Norwan 
Jewison, transforming it into a an 
enormous success. 

A cast of 58 actors, singers, 
dancers and musicians take part 
in this mega-production of Filipe 


La Feria in Portimao, with 
Anabela playing Mary 
Magdalene, Pedro Bargato as 
Judas and Gon^alo Salgueiro and 
David Ventura playing Jesus 
Christ. The show has subtitles in 
English and Spanish. 

Tickets cost between €15 and 
€35 and can be purchased by 
phone on: 282 414 333; 282 432 
417; 922 168 259; 922 164 360

Holders of Cartao Jovem, over 
60 ’s and groups of over 25 peo- 
ple get a 20% discount and kids 
under 12 a 50% discount.

More attacks on expats 


On Friday 4* July a German 
expat, resident in the Algarve for 
over 20 years, was walking home 
from Ferragudo along the path- 
way on Praia Grande when he 
was violently attacked by a 
group of youths. 

After attending a party, at 
around 1 am, in Ferragudo town 
centre, ‘Peter’ (he does not wish 
to disclose his real name) decided 
to walk home on the warm sum- 
mer evening via the pathway 
along Ferragudo beach. 

Reaching adarker area whenhe 
walked past the Naval Lifeboat 
Post, he turned on his LED torch 
to hght the way. Further down the 
path, in the direction to the camp- 
ing ground, he saw a young Por- 
tuguese man shouting into his 
phone whom he dismissed imme- 
diately. A few seconds later 
someone grabbed him from be- 
hind and three individuals, aU Por- 


tuguese, came and brutally beat 
him up, cracking his nose, break- 
ing three ribs and injuring his 
knee. After taking his wallet and 
keys, the youths started running 
away in the direction of Sueste 
Restaurant where two cars were 
waiting for them. 

Having served time in the 
army, ‘Peter’, now 53 years old, 
injured and bloody, ran after the 
youths and arrived just as they 
were getting into the separate cars. 
Clutching his torch he managed 
to smash the right side window 
of one of the cars, a white Peugeot 
309. The two white cars, with 
four people in each, managed to 
escape from the infuriated victim 
via the beach road. 

‘Peter’ then limped to a cafe in 
the town square and asked the 
owner to call for the police and 
an ambulance. To his dismay, the 
ambulance arrived before the 


police did, 25 minutes after the 
phone call was made, and the 
GNR arrived five minutes later. 

‘Peter’ was taken to the 
Barlavento Hospital in Portimao 
where he found out the extent of 
his injuries, a fractured nose, 
three broken ribs, a damaged knee 
and two broken crowns to his 
teeth. 

It was at the hospital where the 
GNR took his statement; speak- 
ing exclusivly to The Portugal 
News ‘Peter’ said, “At the mo- 
ment pohce can’ t cope with these 
situations, they need much more 
personnel.” 

Attacks on foreigners are in- 
creasing over the summer months ; 
two weeks ago a British holiday- 
maker was killed in Vilamoura 
and last week an Irish shop 
owner was attacked on the same 
day ‘Peter’ was violently beaten 
up.

TAP refunds ... get 
yours now! 

SIR, After years of passenger 
abuse, I think T AP (T ake Another 
Plane?) has been forced into the 
real world. We have just been re- 
funded €250 each for a delayed 
flight. I flew (with 4 others) Faro 
Lisbon Prague and return (cost 
€275). The Lisbon Faro return 
was re-scheduled and we were 
rebooked on a later flight. Under 
article 26 1 of the European code, 
any passenger who is delayed/ 
rebooked more than 2 hours , on a 
scheduled flight, and who has not 
been advised at least 7 days prior 
to travel, is automatically due to a 
minimum of €250 compensation. 

Longer flights are more . . . (and 
should be offered drinks, meals 
etc., etc. on a sliding scale of de- 
lay). TAP regularly consolidate 
its scheduled Lisbon-Faro 19.25 
flight, into the 22.25 flight ... thus 
... 3hrs, and does so only days 
prior ... thereby every passenger 
prebooked on that flight has aright 
to compensation! Go online to:

EricpeanjCommissicTLR^LM 
2004 or just search for 261/2004 ! 
As an ex-travel agent who never, 
ever, alguma vez, got any satis- 
faction (or even a reply) from 
T AP ... I am finally vindicated . . . 
spread the word ... (oh yes ... and 
publish this next week when the 
refund is finalized please ... just 
incase..!)

Reply to ‘Highway 
robbery’ 

SIR, In your July 12th issue 
there was an article about high- 
way robbery. I was also stopped 


by the police, I was coming down 
the hill in Cascais towards the big 
circle and was going right towards 
the ocean. At that red light there 
are two lanes, I was in the left lane 
with a solid white line. Onmyright 
was an old car, when the light 
turned green I moved forward, at 
that location it goes from two lanes 
to one lane and the people in the 
left lane can not go any further 
over, the oldcar was an undercover 
policeman and I was ahead of him. 
He sounded his horn at me and 
when I looked in the rear view mir- 
ror, he had put down his sun visor 
which said Policia, and pointed for 
me to puU over. I unhooked my seat 
belt and got out to see what his 
problem was, he did not say a 
word to me, just flashed his badge, 
wrote down the license plate 
number and got back in his car. I 
was driving my brother-in-laws 
SUV as we were moving. 

An hour later the police showed 
up at my brother-in-law’s and 
they called me and said that I was 
to report to the police station, 
which I did, and who did I have to 
see, the policeman that stopped 
me, he did not speak English and I 
do not speak Portuguese. I ex- 
plained what happened to another 
policeman and then I was asked if 
I had any identification, and like a 
dummy I produced my drivers li- 
cense If om Virginia. 

He told his partner to tell me 
that he would be back in ten min- 
utes, 45 minutes later he appeared 
and told his partner to tell me that 
I was being charged with two vio- 
lations , one for cutting him off and 
the other for not wearing a seat belt 
which I had just taken off to get 
out and talk to him when he 
stopped me. He told me if I 


wanted my license back I would 
have to pay €240 cash right there . 
I needed my license so I had no 
choice but to pay. 

I then wrote to the commander 
of the police asking for my money 
back because I had not done any- 
thing wrong, but of course he did 
not reply. 

It is time the police did their j ob, 
so many people talk on cell 
phones while driving and the po- 
lice just turn their back so they do 
not have to do paperwork. In- 
stead they harass citizens for no 
reason, but if you call for police 
assistance, do not expect them in 
a hurry. 

JEAN DANIEL, Portugal 

Re: Highway robbery 

SIR, I have sympathy for 
‘Name Withheld’ s letter of last 
week concerning his fine of € 1 20 
for exceeding the 50kph speed 
limi t at B ohqueime on the EN 125. 

About two years ago many of 
the 50kph signs were removed 
along this road. Now as residents 
we are expected to be famihar with 
the Portuguese Highway Code 
which states that the speed limit 
in built up areas is 50kph -unless 
otherwise posted. Built up areas 
are designated by the appropriate 
town/village name sign. 

However the removal of the 
speed limitsigns seems avery cyni- 
cal move designed to trap unaware 
and/orunwary motorists. You can 
imagine the effect that such tactics 
will have on holiday makers who 
are caught by this trap. They will 
never return to the Algarve again 
and the easy fines which have been 
collected will slowly dry up as 
fewer people come here and the 
whole of the tourist economy will 
slow down. 

Being very charitable, perhaps 
the purpose of the sign removal is 
to encourage High Quality T our- 
ists which we are constantly be- 
ing told that the Algarve is seek- 
ing to attract and are needed to fill 
the multiple five star hotels which 
are springing up throughout the 


area. Presumably these tourists, 
speed through the area in their 
chauffeur-driven cars reading 
their top peoples’ paper or dic- 
tating to their secretary whilst the 
chauffeur takes care of any incon- 
venient fines which might be im- 
posed by the local constabulary. 
Or maybe not.... 

NORMAN THOMPSON, 
Guia 

‘Unfair’ fines 

SIR, There is what some see as 
an ‘unfair’ situation that results 
in many drivers being fined for un- 
intentionally speeding including, 
it would seem, your anonymous 
correspondent (The Portugal 
News, 12th July). When travel- 
ling on a 90km/hr road a 70km/hr 
sign will indicate the approach to 
a town or village. Sometimes a 
standard 50km/hr sign will be 
placed shortly afterwards but of- 
ten it will be just a black and white 
town name. I have always under- 
stood that such a sign marks the 
start of a 50/km/hr limit that ex- 
tends to where another town sign 
with ared diagonal across itmarks 
the end of the limit. There are sev- 
eral such places on the EN125, 
including Boliqueime. A double 
flash of the headlights of oncom- 
ing cars is usually a warning of a 
police check ahead, so ease off on 
the right foot! 

RONLAVERY, Bye-mail 

SIR, Your crossword No. 200 
‘Quick Clues’ were even quicker 
than usual. In the sense that read- 
ers saw right off that, once again, 
there ’d been a foul-up. 

Y ou guys do everything else so 
well. Why the regular Crossword 
messes? Who or what is respon- 
sible you never say ... 

In your apology please don’t 
trot out your standard phrase, 
“we’re sorry if we spoiled your 
fun.” Our “fun” in Portugal still 
goes far beyond your Cross- 
words, fortunately. 

Anyway have a good summer ! 

BARRY GARDNER, Lisbon 


Procreation 

SIR, When I read Mr. Ross’s 
letter ‘Procreation’ last week my 
first impulse was to smile, espe- 
cially with his assumption that I 
am “struggling” with same sex at- 
traction. I assure you Mr. Ross 
I’m not. I am very happy and con- 
tented to be who I am and have 
been for many, many years. How- 
ever there is a serious side to his 
letter. In it he advises people who 
are unsure of their sexual orienta- 
tion or who have been taught to 
hate themselves to contact organi- 
sations hke N ARTH. I would say, 
don’t do it ! You will go through a 
lot of mental anguish, and perhaps 
physical suffering, you will come 
out the other end screwed up and 
it won’t change you anyway. 
Since 1 994, the American Psycho- 
logical Association has declared 
aversion therapy as a means to 
change sexual orientation is a dan- 
gerous practice and does not work. 
NARTH poses as a purely scien- 
tific organization, who dedicate 
themselves to giving Gay people 
who wish to change, the means to 
do so. 

However if you look at some of 
the articles on their website, it im- 
mediately becomes clear that this 
is a front for Christian right groups . 
Such organisations do not start 
from the premise “Lets give peo- 
ple who want to change their ori- 
entation the possibility to do so” 
but from the premise, homosexu- 
ahty is wrong so we’ U do whatever 
we can to change people”- very 
dangerous, when peopleare mess- 
ing with your mind. Par better for 
people who need help to contact 
ILGA online at:http://www.ilga- 
portugal.pt/ or Opus Gay, 213 15 
1396, who can offer help and sup- 
port for those people who feel 
uncertain or alone in dealing with 
their homosexuality. So, Mr. Ross, 
I’m fighting the good fight, not to 
lead a chaste life, but a happy one 
(and I’m succeeding!). Keep pull- 
ing for me! 

GLEN HAGUE, Estoril 

Mr. Ross’ nonsensical 
tirades 

SIR, It seems that in every class- 
room, there is akid who thinks he’ s 
cleverer than the rest and disrupts 
the class with wisecracks. I al- 
ways explain to therest of the group 
that it is a way of trying to get at- 
tention and that instead of laugh- 
ing - which only goads the kid on - 
they should ignore him. Without 
an audience, suchkids usually shut 
up. I suggest that by answering 
James Ross’ nonsensical tirades, 
we only encourage him to write 
more, so perhaps if we ignore him, 
he will cease and desist. 

However, since he felt the need 
to mahgn me in aletter on 5th July, 
I will defend myself. Por some 
reason, this person, whom I have 
never met, has decided that we 
should be on first name basis , sol 
will do likewise. Jimmy, I did 
NOT equate my grandmother’s 
late-in-life marriage to gay 
marriage. I merely pointed out 
that your premise that marriage 
exists only for procreation is 
wrong because people marry for 
other legitimate reasons. 
Grandma was obliged by a law to 
proclaim that she would not have 
children with her new husband, a 
cousin (she was 75). So you can 
see that there are actually laws 
meant to prohibit procreation! 

Jim referred to my “stinking 
thinking” (= I don’t agree with 
his views), but perhaps the 
odour was from all the fire and 
brimstone with which he sur- 


rounds himself. 

The late, great comedian 
George Carlin had a terrific bit in 
which he cleverly explained how 
the 1 0 commandments can be re- 
duced to a mere 3 , but added one : 
Thou shalt keep thy religion to 
thyself. 

I shall now follow my own ad- 
vice and ignore Mr. Ross and I sug- 
gest everyone else do the same. 
He can then just carry on with his 
rather bizarre fife which he appar- 
ently spends writing letters to 
newspapers, reading the Bible 
and worrying about other peo- 
ple’s sex lives. 

ZITA NETO, Portimao 

Belief in angels 

SIR, Unlike the existence of 
God, which is demonstrable us- 
ing deductive reason, the belief 
in angels comes from Divine rev- 
elation. That’s not to say belief 
in angels is unreasonable though. 
It is quite logical once one thinks 
his way to a theistic worldview. 
So why does Michael Baugh( July 
12) confuse tooth fairies with 
guardian angels? Probably be- 
cause his own belief in God and 
angels never developed past the 
age of 7. And because he feeds his 
non-belief with a steady diet of ex- 
pensive books by Sam Harris, 
Christopher Hitchens and Rich- 
ard Dawkins. In his book, ‘The 
Eaith Of The Eatherless’ , Dr. Paul 
Vitz explains how the world’s 
foremost atheists, Ereud, 
Voltaire, Hitler, Marx, etc. all had 
pathological hatred for their fa- 
thers for perceived wrongs during 
childhood ( perhaps Daddy for- 
got to slip a nickle under the pil- 
low one night) . I would never sug- 
gest Messrs. Baugh nor Lavery 
are acting out tantrums on the 
pages of the The Portugal News 
with their obsessive attacks on a 
God (and His angels) which they 
suppo sedly don ’ t even believe in. 
But they never actually advance 
any thought out arguments. 
Only naughty, bad 

tempered opinions. 

Hmmm, makes one wonder. . . 

JAMES ROSS, By e-mail 

Baughdom 

SIR, Michael Baugh is becom- 
ing a bore. His letters seem to be 
little more than a vehicle for him to 
air his apparently encyclopaedic 
knowledge of Christian theologi- 
cal debate over the centuries and 
to tell us the views of people of 
whommost of us have never heard. 

James Ross on the other hand 
expresses views on matters which 
are topical andrelevantto contem- 
porary concerns. The purpose of 
sex and the importance of mar- 
riage are really current issues on 
which, I am sure, many more peo- 
ple are in agreement with his 
views than the columns of your 
letter page suggest. 

His statement that the pur- 
pose of sex is procreation is so 
patently correct that only 
curmudgeons and the obsessively 
argumentative would attempt to 
deny it. What other purpose does 
it have? Entertainment, amuse- 
ment, sport, self-gratification, 
bonding etc., etc. are all side ef- 
fects . The reason it exists is to re- 
produce the species. 

Pleasekeeppluggingthemessage 
James. There are many of us who, 
without being devout Christians, 
admire you for trying to maintain 
and defend socially valuable 
standards. These things matter.

Maison d’lm Reve - 
bringing back class 

Directly translated to ‘Dream Home’, Maison d’un Reve sells antique 
furniture and decorative items that provide homes with an elegant and 
classic feel, combining good decorative solutions with items that radiate a 
certain ‘je ne sals quoi’... 



As one walks in to the shop 
it seems like entering a time 
warp, going baek to the time 
when masquerade balls, glam- 
our and extravagance were in 
vogue. 

Beautifully ornate chande- 
liers, ehaise longs, embroidered 
sofas, ornate mirrors, wrought 
iron produets and earved 
wooden tables oecupy the styl- 
ish furniture shop just outside 
Almaneil, on the E.N. 125, tak- 


ing eustomers back to an era 
when class was an ever present 
charaeteristie of people’s 
homes. 

The deeor of the shop is per- 
fection with parquet flooring 
and a wooden beamed eeiling 
eomplementing the antique fur- 
niture. 

Celia Etehepare, half Portu- 
guese but born in Franee, 
opened her shop last Deeember 
after working several years in 


the same business in the Freneh 
part of the Basque country. 

If a client list is an important 
aspect of quality, Maison d’un 
Reve most certainly has it and 
it works together with many 
deeorators in the Algarve, sup- 
plying them with unique items 
that cannot be found anywhere 
else, as Celia imports all the rep- 
lica products from a French 
company she is in partnership 
with. 

Always striving for a larger 
client list, Celia has been con- 
taeting several hotels and res- 
taurants to expand the busi- 
ness, giving good diseounts to 
trades people and on larger or- 
ders. 

The indoor area is just a por- 
tion of what the shop has to of- 
fer as outside boasts an array of 
quality outdoor furniture, 
wrought iron gates, outdoor 
lighting, wind breaks and much, 
much more. 

If you cannot find what you 
want at the shop hundreds more 
items ean be ordered via eata- 
logues. The shop is located on 
the E.N. 125 between Faro and 
Almaneil and is open from Mon- 
Fri from 09h00 to 18h30 and 
Saturdays from lOhOO till 
13h00.

NaturOriente, a natural approach to well being 


m 


Established in May but officially inaugurated last weekend, the 
NaturOriente wellness centre, in Lagos, offers a vast range of 
alternative treatments and natural products to completley help you feel 
and look your best, and all under one roof! 


Owned and run by Manuel 
Matos Pereira, who is qualified 
in Mesotherapy and physi- 
otherapy, and Eugenia Vaz, who 
is extensively qualified and expe- 
rieneed in therapeutie massages, 
therapies whieh inelude Chinese 
therapeutie massage, Bowen 


Teehnique, Reflexology. They 
also have a revolutionary eompu- 
terised diagnosis maehine. 

W ith ealming eolours on walls, 
like turquoise and lilae, relaxing 
and feeling at ease happens natu- 
rally at NaturOriente. 

Eugenia, who is originally from 


Moldavia but is fluent in many 
languages, ineluding Portuguese, 
has trained to a high standard in 
therapeutie massage in her home 
eountry, and praetieed for a eon- 
siderable number of years. 

She deeidedto follow this area 
of healing after beeoming seri- 
ously ill herself, finding in natu- 
ral therapies an effeetive and 
lasting result. 

Eugenia eontinues to study 
new teehniques and natural 
produets, as alternative treat- 
ments whieh she eonsiders to be 
something of an ongoing phi- 
losophy. Eugenia reeently be- 
eame an ISBT-eredited Bowen 
praetitioner, adding another 
string to her bow. 

By personalising her teeh- 
nique she has developed an abil- 
ity to deteet, through massage 
based on reflexology points, or- 
gans that may have problems of 
any sorts. 

Having intensively studied 
natural produets and remedies, 
she was also able to follow up 
her unique diagnoses with ho- 
moeopathie treatments. 

This signifieant ability has 


proved popular in Portugal, and 
she is able to help people with 
aehes and pains of all sorts. 

It was after suecessfully 
treating Manuel for a number of 
years, and notieing a need for 
more preeise natural and alterna- 
tive treatments that the duo 
coneieved the idea to open 
NaturOriente, whieh will also 
feature guest praetitioners to of- 
fer an even more varied range of 
treatments. 

The Dianel Pro eomputerised 
diagnosis maehine, unique on 
the Iberian Peninsula and to 
whieh NaturOriente have exclu- 
sive distribution rights. 

Said to be widely used in Rus- 
sia and other Euro Countries, 
the maehine uses bio-resonanee 
to deteet organs that are affeeted 
by parasites, baeteria, disease, 
as well as bone defieieneies, al- 
lergies, food intolerances, and 
other disorders, ete. 

It operates by an eleetrode 
being held in eaeh hand whilst 
headphones are plaeed over the 
patients ears, emitting a fast 
rhythmie sound (like Riee 
Krispies popping) that is syn- 
ehronised with eellular photo- 
eeleetie laser-like beams that 
flash, together stimulating the 
brain to identify affeeted areas 
of the body by monitoring the 
brain’s response. 


Non-invasive and eomfort- 
able, appropriate for use unpeo- 
ple of all ages (with the exeep- 
tion of those wearing a paee- 
maker) the Dianel maehine’ s ae- 
curaey is extensively detailed, 
listing all defieieneies and disor- 
ders, from whieh a diagnosis ean 
be made, either through eonven- 
tional medieine, as the results 
ean be shown to a doetor, or 
through natural produets. 

Both Manuel and Eugenia are 
fully trained and qualified in us- 
ing the Dianel Pro. 

In stock at NaturOriente are 
hundreds of natural produets, 
from teas to hair eolours, stress 
relievers and other dietary prod- 


uets, many of whieh are pro- 
dueed by quality-eontrolled 
Chinese manufaeturer Tianshi 
(Tiens) and sold in over 180 
eountries,this ineludes the 
popular ISO 4001. 

Nutritional adviee and dietary 
tips are also given to safely and 
sueeessfully lose weight. 

Aeupuneture, physi- 

otherapy, Chi Kung and lym- 
phatie drainage further make up 
the list of treatments available.

We would like to rectify that Jardilar, 
featured in last week’s Trading 
Places’, is in fact located near the big 
roundabout off the A22 access road, 
between Lagos and Praia da Luz, not 
Odiaxere, as reported. We apologise 
for any inconvinience this may have 
caused.

From plot to plate 

Asparagus 

Asparagus is one of those vegetables that you have to be pa- 
tient with if you want a good crop. Plant one-year-old crowns 
in March, 45cm (1 Sin) apart, into rich, well-drained and well- 
manured soil and cover them with a couple of inches of soil. 

Don’t cut the spears the first year, but let them grow into 
mature plants and when they go brown at the end of the autumn, 
cut the leaves off at the base and build up the soil around the 
crowns. 

Again, don’t cut the spears in the second year, but in the third 
year you can crop them lightly for about a month, then from the 
fourth year onwards you can harvest the spears in May and 
June, using a long knife to sever them well below the soil sur- 
face. 

Asparagus is delicious served steamed with Hollandaise sauce 
or cold in salads.

suitable for age four upwards. 
The only difference from the

fact that it has a plastic wheel.

Removals & Storage 



Winning ways with 
colour 

Baffled by the dizzying amount of styles and trends 
around? The last thing you want to do is waste money 
by redecorating only to find that in a few months the 
style or colour’s out of fashion and your rooms look out 
of date. 

It’s even more important to get it right if you’re trying to 
sell, as indulging your personal passion for fluorescent pink 
is fine - but don’t expect other people to pay for it! 

Probably the safest and most chic choice for decor is mono- 
chrome - the classic and versatile pairing of black and white. 
Sainsbury’s head of design Simon Stevens says: “We all 
thought monochrome was going to be a fad but now we be- 
lieve it’ s going to endure for the foreseeable future, definitely 
through next year. 

“It can be interpreted in a sharp, urban way by focusing on 
pure black and white or softened with cream or shiny 
metallics.” 

Fionnuala Johnston, design manager for B&Q compares a 
monochrome decor scheme to the wardrobe classic, the LBD 
- little black dress. “It’s a great basic which can dressed up 
with metallics, warmed with soft colours or made dramatic 
with punchy contrasts like red. 

“Just varying your accessories - throws, lampshades and 
cushions - from time to time can instantly freshen the scheme.” 

Other trend savvy colour choices are greens - Nature’s pal- 
ette stays strong - with grass green and sage green the leading 
shades. 

Soft blues, such as duck egg and teal (the latter will prob- 
ably stay the course longer), combine brilliantly with choco- 
late and soft browns. 

Experiment with a new look without risk with mydeco.com’ s 
room planning tool which allows users to upload an image of 
their room onto the site and try out thousands of combinations 
of wallpaper and paint (as well as checking out flooring, fur- 
nishings, furniture and accessories).

Chateau Style 


This is the ideal glamorous 
style for interior divas who like 
their rooms gilded and glitzy, 
but you don’t need to be 
wealthy - just follow Annie’s 
guidelines and add some im- 
agination and gold paint! 

Annie says : “A crystal chan- 
delier is the essence of this 
style, giving both a magnifi- 
cent focus to a room as well as 
sparkle and delicacy. 

“Mirrors like chandeliers 
add light and sparkle, so use 
as many as possible in as large 
a size as you can, preferably 


with a decorative scroll-like 
design.” 

Linen sheets and pillow- 
cases - once a part of every 
French girl’s trousseau, lov- 
ingly initialled in embroidery 
- are a signature part of the 
style. 

Don’t hold back on decora- 
tive trims like tassels, braids 
and ropes for the edges of cur- 
tains, cushions and uphol- 
stery, and turn on the bling 
with touches of gold on mir- 
rors and the moulding of 
painted doors and furniture.

French Fancy - Essential Ingredients 


In general, Annie describes 
French style as “playful and 
delicate. It’s never heavy, 
never over- adorned and never 
complicated. Even at its 
grandest, furniture may be 
ornate but the colour will be 
very quiet.” 

But there’s no need to buy 
new, as Annie points out that 
painting furniture, one of the 
characteristics of French 
style, can transform it. 

“France has never been a 
throwaway culture, so bear in 
mind that the idea of adapta- 
tion and reuse is part of the 
country’s tradition. 

“And just as French cuisine 


uses basic but very fresh ingre- 
dients, so it is with interior de- 
sign. Polyester, plastic and fi- 
bre board won ’ t do . Instead, fine 
cottons and linens and natural 


materials such as metal, 
wood, stone and terracotta 
should be combined with matt 
paints rather than shiny, arti- 
ficial finishes.”

Iran: Six-to-One Against 


The Iranians have clearly 
concluded that all the American and 
Israeli threats to attack them are mere 
bluff. Israel could not destroy all of 
Iran’s nuclear facilities unless it was 
willing to drop large numbers of 
nuclear weapons on Iran. The United 
States could do the job using only 
conventional weapons, but in reply 
Iran could close the Gulf to tanker 
traffic and cause a global economic 
crisis. So the US and Israel must be 
bluffing, unless they are crazy. 



A file picture dated 22 September 2005 shows Iran’s army presenting its medium-range Shahab-3 baliistic missile, while 
marching in front of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, during an Army Day in Tehran. Iran has test fired nine long- and 
medium-range missiles, including a Shahab-3 missile with a range of 2,000 km, state television reported on 09 July 2008. 
The missiles were tested at an undisclosed desert location, and the long-range missile has sufficient range to reach Israel. 

Photo: LUSA/EPA/ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH 


This explains the bravado of 
Iran’ s little propaganda show on 
9 July, when it test-launched a 
number of ballistic missiles, in- 
cluding one that has the ability 
to carry a nuclear weapon and 
the range to strike Israel. This 
elicited the usual veiled threats 
of an attack on Iran from both 
Washington and Jerusalem, but 
the Iranians don’t believe them 
any more. 

The Shahab-3 missile that the 
Iranians tested has flown before, 
and it could indeed reach Israel. 
However, it lacks a proper guid- 
ance system, and probably could 
not penetrate Israel’s anti-bal- 
listic missile defences. 

More importantly, as the US 
National Intelligence Estimate 
of last December affirmed, Iran 
has no nuclear weapons, and 
closed down its programme to 
develop a nuclear weapons ca- 
pability in 2003. 

The main purpose of the tests 
was to strengthen the position of 
hard-liners in domestic Iranian 
politics. The Iranian Revolu- 
tionary Guards, the organisation 
that carried them out, wants to 
keep the confrontation with the 
United States and its allies alive 
because it fears that other ele- 
ments in the regime might bar- 
gain away Iran’s right to enrich 
nuclear fuel for civilian use. 

If neither the United States or 
Israel intends to attack Iran, this 
is a cost-free strategy: you win 
the domestic political struggle 
and nothing bad happens to you 
internationally. If you miscalcu- 
late, however, you get a war out 
of it. What are the odds that the 
Iranians are miscalculating? 

Many institutions try to ana- 
lyse this question, and some of 
them will charge you quite a lot 
for an answer. However, all of 
them are essentially guessing 
what goes on in the minds of the 



Gwynne Dyer. 


Gwynne Dyer’ is a London 
based independent journalist 
whose articles are published in 
45 countries. 

His new book, “After Iraq ”, 
has just been published in Lon- 
don by Yale University Press. 


US president and/or the Israeli 
prime minister, both of whom 
are men in a hurry. Bush leaves 
office in January, and Olmert 
may be gone by September as the 
result of a corruption scandal. 

President George W. Bush 
seems to have convinced him- 
self that something must be done 
about the “Iranian threat” before 
he goes, but he faces the almost 
unanimous opposition of the US 
military and intelligence estab- 
lishment, who are horrified by 
the prospect of an unwinnable 
war against Iran. Last Decem- 
ber’s National Intelligence Es- 
timate was a deliberate attempt 
to undercut the Bush adminis- 
tration’s relentless propaganda 
about the “Iranian nuclear 
threat.” 

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’ s 
coalition government in Israel 
might collapse if he chose to at- 
tack Iran alone, and the Israeli 
military are clearly divided on the 
feasibility of such an attack. Be- 
sides, Israel could not do such a 
thing without Washington’s ap- 
proval — Israeli aircraft would 
have to fly through Iraqi airspace, 
which is under US control — so 
it all comes back to what Bush 
decides. 

He probably doesn’t know 
himself yet, and his main con- 
cern must be that senior soldiers 
and spies in Washington would 
go public to oppose such an ad- 
venture. In circumstances like 
these, I generally consult the In- 
ternational Institute for Discuss- 
ing Current Affairs Over Din- 
ner, whose advice can be had for 
the price of a good meal. 

Membership is limited to my- 
self, my wife and my many tal- 
ented children. Like me, they are 
experts in everything, and one 
of our most effective analytical 
tools is an exercise called Set- 
ting the Odds. A quorum of the 
Institute’s membership is cur- 
rently on holiday in southern 
Morocco, and we deployed this 
technique at dinner last night. 

I offered my colleagues two- 
to-one odds that neither the 
United States nor Israel would 
attack Iran this year, and they 
laughed in my face. Their re- 
sponse was the same at odds of 
four-to-one. At six-to-one one 
showed a mild interest, but still 
declined the offer. Prom which 
I deduce that for all the huffing 
and puffing in Washington and 
Jerusalem, an actual attack on 
Iran this year is extremely un- 
likely. The Revolutionary 
Guards are right. 

Y ou may object that this tech- 
nique lacks scientific rigour. I 
would reply that so does every- 
body else’ s, and at least you get 


a nice meal out of this one. 
Moreover, we have a good track 
record, mainly because we as- 
sume that while individual lead- 
ers may lose the plot, large in- 
stitutions like governments and 
armed forces are generally more 
rational in their choices. 


There are occasions when 
whole countries are so trauma- 
tised by some shock that truly 
bizarre decisions become possi- 
ble — the United States after 9/ 
1 1 was like that for a while — 
but this is not one of those times. 

The US military have been 


war-gaming possible attacks on 
Iran since the 1990s, and they 
have never managed to find a 
scenario that resulted in a cred- 
ible US victory. 

Some people in the White 
House have convinced them- 
selves that the Iranian people 


will rise up and overthrow their 
government as soon as the first 
American bombs fall, but the 
professional soldiers in the Pen- 
tagon don’ t believe in fairy tales. 
Six-to-one says that there will 
be no US or Israeli attack on Iran 
this year.

Algarve wines 
reborn with 
quality in mind 


Constantly surrounded by people at 
foreign wine exhibitions, Rui Virginia 
has no doubts that the Algarve is, in 
itself, a brand that sells and that its 
wine, just like the region, needs to be 
cherished and above all, produce a

”1 recently went to a 
Portuguese wine exhi- 
bition in London, 
with over ten pro- 
ducers from 
Douro to 
Bairrada, all of 
them bigger 
than me, but it 
was my wine 
that aroused 
the most curi- 
osity as it was 
from the Al- 
garve” said the 
young wine 
grower. 

In fact, the 
owner of the 
brand Barranco 
Longo, the 
same name as 
the property 
he bought at 
Algoz back in 
1999, does not 
need the help of 
the Algarve 
brand to suc- 
ceed, as his 
vines produce 
outstanding 
wine. All the 
vines, 40% 
Rose, 30% 
Cabernet Red 


and 5% white, have reached a 
high level of maturity and qual- 
ity and Rui Virginia is proud of 
his 82,000 bottles produced 
this year. 

Having drained his produc- 
tion by selling to around 200 
restaurants in the region, from 
Sagres to Vila Real de Santo 
Antonio, Rui says “If I had 
more it would be sold” due to 
the good words all the restau- 
rant owners pass on to friends 
and colleagues. Hotels and off 
licenses are also part of his cli- 
ent list. 

Bottles start at €5.50 (price 
at off licenses) and can reach €14 
for the sparkling rose, produced 
for the first time this year. The 
wine connoisseur says he is not 
interested in the larger consump- 
tion market, hypermarkets and 
discount stores, as those loca- 
tions are for companies that 
produce over 300,000 bottles a 
year. 

Barranco Longo is the sec- 
ond largest wine producer in 
the Algarve, after Sir Cliff 
Richards’, and Rui believes 
there are conditions to con- 
tinue to expand, both in quan- 
tity and quality. Speaking of 
the quality of his wine he says 
“I have won the blind tasting

■ Wine evokes strong feelings. Good

The Cornish Range coffee 
shop, Burgau 


If Cornish gastronomy tickles your taste-buds, a traditional pasty or a Cornish cream 
tea then the Cornish coffee shop is a definite must on your agenda. Packed with 


freshly baked pastries, sale 
teeth into. 

Amongst the many other 
Cornish pasties are mouth-wa- 
tering options like traditional 
layered steak, beef and Stilton, 
steak and ale, spicy chicken, 
pork and apple, as well as the 
original Cornish cocktail. 

Vegetarian options include 
flaky cheese and onion, spinach 
and ricotta, and other pastries 


s and other typical delights 

feature sausage rolls (including 
the popular Jumbo size), and 
cheese and sun-dried tomato 
bake. 

Everyday there is homemade 
soup on the menu, accompanied 
by freshly baked bread, as well 
as jacket potatoes, all-day 
breakfasts, and a large range of 
sandwiches on malted brown or 
white sliced bread. 

Traditional Cornish cold 
drinks include Orchard’ s apple 
or elderflower presse, and a 
homemade lemon drink. 

Desserts are also freshly 
baked on a daily basis and in- 
clude gorgeous cakes, flans and 
fruit crumbles; clotted cream 
teas accompanied by 
homemade scones or muffins, 
or alternatively, given the glo- 
rious hot weather, opt for 
Roskilly’s Farmhouse Range 
ice cream or yoghurt, in a vari- 
ety of flavours. 

The Cornish Range was es- 
tablished in 2006 by Nicola 
and Nicolas Archdale to sup- 


you will want to get your 

ply the region with traditional 
and original Cornish flavours. 
Over the past few years the 
products have proved im- 
mensely popular with both Por- 
tuguese and foreign communi- 
ties, now being available from a 
number of outlets across the Al- 
garve and beyond. 

Located in Burgau, the coffee 
shop was a natural step in the 
company’s successful expan- 
sion, inaugurated in May 2007. 

With the Archdale’ s i mm inent 
departure to Australia, from 
where they will still run the busi- 
ness, the shop has been left in the 
capable hands of manager Tracy 
Donoghy, further ensuring busi- 
ness continues as usual. 

The shop is open every day, 
from 09h30 till 1 9h00, open later 
on Mondays, Wednesdays and 
Fridays. On Saturdays it is open 
from09h30- 17h00, and lOhOO

addition to the denim site 
featuring a revolutionary 
sizing system that waves

As for lobster red skin, that’s 
always been a definite style no- 
no. But despite the risks and the 
fashion faux-pas, two thirds of us 
will get sunburnt at some point 
during the summer in the UK, 
according to Dove research. 

When the sun’ s blazing, we’re 
all guilty of stepping out to soak 
up the rays with insufficient pro- 
tection now and again. The 
dreaded burn factor tends to hap- 
pen when we least expect it - a 
fifth of women get sunburnt do- 
ing everyday tasks like shopping 
when sunscreen is put on the back 
burner, reveals Dove. 

So be super-savvy with your 
sun protection this summer, 
whether you crave a subtle sun- 
kissed glow, deep bronze tan, or 
simply want to stay pale. Our 
experts reveal how to protect 
your face, body and hair when the 
sun is shining by answering some 
key skincare questions: 

Face 

Q: Is a moisturiser or foun- 
dation with spf enough in the 
way of sun protection during 
the summer months? 

“Y es, but not for sunbathing,” 
advises make-up artist Jemma 
Kidd. 

“As SPF only indicates pro- 
tection against UVB, look for 
cover against damaging UVB rays 
too. Foundation should be ap- 
plied sparingly, so never rely on 
it for protection. In summer I use 
an oil-free, tinted moisturiser 
with SPF moisturiser or primer 
applied first. 

“If your moisturiser doesn’t 
have SPF apply an oil-free, matte 
sunscreen on top, or try an SPF 
primer. Choose lipsticks, glosses 
and balms with an SPF too.” 


Body 

Q: How much suntan lotion 
should i apply - is once really 
enough? 

A: “Conventional products 
tend to wear off and people tend 
to be a bit sparing with the first 


application when they know that 
they need to keep reapplying it,” 
says Mike Brown, Boots 
Suncare scientific adviser. 

‘ ‘ W e recommend conventional 
products are reapplied every one 
to two hours to replace any prod- 
uct that has been rubbed away.

Extended wear products stay on the skin much 
better and so the risk of the product wearing off is

B e I o r e 
you head out 
in the sun, 
simply spritz 
the protector 
over your hair 
and comb 
through for 
long lasting 
sun care. Non 
greasy hair oil 
enhanced with 
SPF will also 
help to pro- 
mote shine and 
condition

sleek look,” 
Charlie rec- 
ommends.

but also to build up the sunscreen 
layer to the recommended 
amount. Use a blob about the size 
of a €2 coin for an area equivalent 
to the whole of one arm from 
shoulders to fingertips. 

“Extended wear products are 
different,” Mike adds. “They 
stay on the skin much better and 
so the risk of the product wear- 
ing off is much less.” 


Hair 


Q : Is it important to protect 
your hair in the same way you 
protect your body? 

A: “Yes, there are hair prod- 
ucts that contain SPFs to protect 
against the harmful UVA and 
UVB rays of the sun,” says 
Charlie Taylor, hairdresser and 
Schwarzkopf Professional Hair 
Doctor.

Ask the expert 

Q: “My seven-year-old daughter is animal crackers and wants a puppy for her birthday. Is 
she old enough to look after a dog herself, or should I get her a kitten - or no pet at all?” 



Both dogs and cats can live a long time, long enough for a seven-year-old to grow into a 
young adult and leave home. (Photo: Press Association) 


A: Steve Fairburn, pet con- 
sultant for the pet store chain 
Pets at Home, says: “Owning a 
pet is a significant responsibil- 
ity and, in the case of a child’s 
desire, something that must be 
a family decision. Owning a pet 
is very important for a child’s 
development on a number of 
counts but must be carefully 
considered. 

“A dog’s needs are fairly 
straightforward but they can be 


demanding when exercise, 
stimulation and health care are 
concerned. Cats don’t need to be 
taken for walks but in many 
other respects are similar. Both 
dogs and cats can live a long 
time, long enough for a seven- 
year-old to grow into a young 
adult and leave home. 

“Ideal pets for a seven-year- 
old are guinea pigs, which are 
social and should always have 
company of their own kind. They 


don’t need as much space as a 
dog or cat, but do need cleaning 
out weekly. They are interactive, 
vocal, and normally very 
friendly. They provide all the 
benefits that the responsibility 
for, and association with, other 
pets bring but they only live for 
about four to seven years. 

“Pet ownership is a very im- 
portant aspect of modern soci- 
ety and there are many different 
options including fish, reptiles, 
small mammals and birds. 
There should be a pet that suits 
any set of circumstances, but the 
key is to ask questions, research 
and make an informed deci- 
sion.”

News for parents 


Nursery staff should be alert for “racisf remarks among toddlers, 
a new report suggests 


Guidance in the National 
Children’s Bureau report is 
designed to help teachers and 
nursery staff recognise poten- 
tially racist attitudes in young- 


sters in their care. 

It means staff could be asked 
to investigate why a child said 
“yuk” in response to being given 
an unfamiliar foreign food. 


Haven’t nursery staff got 
enough on their plates without 
having to investigate that most 
common of toddler expres- 
sions? 


Parents are to be asked to take part In a voluntary curfew 
scheme to keep their children off the streets at night 


The night curfew is to be 
introduced in Redruth, west 
Cornwall, as part of an on- 
going campaign to reduce 
anti-social behaviour. 

Operation Goodnight will 
ask parents to ensure their 
16-year-olds are off the 
streets by 9pm and under 10s 
are at home by 8pm. 

If parents don’t want to 
take part, there are bound to 
be plenty of neighbours 
who’ll be happy to take the 
kids off the streets and de- 
liver them back home. 

Maybe we should consider 
doing the same here? 


Headteachers have warned that parents shouldn’t rely on Sats 
results as the sole indicator of their chiid’s progress, amid 
growing concerns about the quality of this year’s marking 


Mick Brookes, general 
secretary of the National As- 
sociation of Head Teachers, 
said colleagues were report- 


ing “all kinds of problems” 
about the reliability of the 
marking. 

As anything that can move 


seems to be assessed these 
days, why doesn’t some offi- 
cial body assess the mark- 
ers? 


One in four workers 
are so unhappy in 
their job they don’t 
want their chiidren 
to follow the same 
career, a new study 
has found. 


A survey of 1,000 adults 
showed that more than a 
quarter believed their chil- 
dren could earn more money 
or have a better work-life 
balance if they didn’t follow 
in their footsteps. 

A classic case of “Do as I 
say, but not as I do”.

Have a happy, healthy holiday 


Out comes the sun and along come 
those pesky ailments like heat stroke, 
insect bites, heat rash, and holiday 
tummy all designed to derail summer 
fun. Make sure you stay on top form by 
following our guide to dealing with 
summer irritations. 


After spending months won- 
dering when summer was finally 
going to start, we’re now in the 
throes of it - and suffering from 
those pesky ailments that only 
the hot months bring. 

You might think that your 
su mm er wouldn’t be complete 
without a heat rash, a minor heat- 
stroke, an upset tummy, itchy 
insect bites or a peeling sunburn 
- but these are all problems that 
can easily be prevented by fol- 
lowing our simple guide to deal- 
ing with common summer irrita- 
tions. 

HEAT RASH 

S o you ’ ve finally got yourself 
out into the sun, and now your 
skin has broken into a prickly and 
itchy red rash (this is why heat 
rash is also known as ‘prickly 
heat’ ). If you’ re in a hot or humid 
climate, this is probably due to 
the fact that you’re sweating 
more than usual: the sweat is ac- 
tually blocked underneath the 
skin, which causes the rash. 

But, says Dr. Wendy 


Denning, who runs an integrated 
medical clinic in London 
[ w w w . thehealthdoctor s . co . uk] , 
heat rash can also occur after ap- 
plying certain kinds of sunscreen. 

“There’ s one particular ingre- 
dient, avobenzone, that seems to 
cause this kind of reaction in peo- 
ple,” Dr. Denning explains. “If 
you’ re prone to allergies , you can 
go to www.allergymatters.com, 
which will tell you which 
sunscreens to use and which to 
avoid. 

“If you do develop a heat rash, 
avoid the sun, avoid sunscreen, 
eat lots of fruit and vegetables for 
the antioxidants in them, drink 
lots of water and cut out straw- 
berries, nuts, alcohol, coffee, and 
red meat as they could all make it 
worse. 

“Take acool shower- a hot one 
will just make it worse - and get 
some low-grade hydrocortisone 
cream from your local pharmacy, 
or some calendula cream to 
soothe the skin. Taking some vi- 
tamin C and calcium supple-

“If you start to get flu-like symptoms after you’ve been bitten, or the soreness starts to spread into general aches and pains,” warns 

Dr Fontebasso, “you should go to hospital straight away.” 


ments will also lower the hista- 
mine response in your body and 
help to decrease the rash, which 
should go within a week.” 
HEATSTROKE 

If you’ve been in the sun for a 
while lapping up the rays, watch 
out for heatstroke, which occurs 
when the temperature of the 
body rises sharply - either due to 
high outside temperatures or se- 
vere sunburn, says GP, Dr. 
Manuela Fontebasso. 

“Heatstroke is associated with 
severe headaches, nausea, vom- 
iting, hallucinations and potential 
fainting and collapsing,” she ex- 
plains. “The problem isn’t just 
the heat - it’s that you get over- 
heated and over-dehydrated and 
lose a lot of salt because you’re 
sweating it all out.” 

Drinking loads of water, stay- 
ing cool, and wrapping your 
body in cool sheets can all help, 
adds Dr. Denning. 

“Drink masses of water, take 
a lot of minerals - like magnesium 
- as you’ 11 be losing them through 
the skin, and neutralise the heat- 
stroke with the natural antioxi- 
dants in fruit and vegetables . And 
next time remember that staying 
cool, by drinking water and stay- 
ing out of the sun, can help you 
avoid heat exhaustion and heat- 
stroke,” she says. 


Heatstroke can prove fatal if 
left untreated, so both Dr. 
Denning and Dr. Fontebasso 
both recommend seeing a doctor 
if you suspect you might have it. 
SUNBURN 

After all those months of 
pasty skin, who wouldn ’ t be in a 
hurry to get a five-minute tan? 
But sitting out in the sun for hours 
at a time not only increases your 
risk of melanoma, it can also cause 


skin blisters, severe burns, and 
that very unenviable look of a 
bright red Brit on holiday. 

“What generally happens on 
holiday is that people eat too 
much, drink too much, and then 
pass out in the sun and turn bright 
red,” warns Dr Denning. 

“If you know you’ll be going 
out in the sun, take some vitamin 
E, selenium and betacarotene 
supplements in advance, as 


they’ve got natural sunscreens in 
them, and wear cream of at least 
SPF 30 (Sun Protection Factor) 
when in the sun. 

“A lot of people think that if 
they’re swimming they don’t 
need any sunscreen, but just be- 
cause you’re in the water doesn’t 
mean you’re protected - the wa- 
ter actually reflects more light 
onto your skin.”

Dr. Wendy Denning, who runs an integrated medical clinic in London 
[www.thehealthdoctors.co.uk], says heat rash can occur after applying certain kinds of 
sunscreen. “There’s one particular ingredient, avobenzone, that seems to cause this kind of 
reaction in people,” Dr. Denning explains. “If you’re prone to allergies, you can go to 
www.allergymatters.com, which will tell you which sunscreens to use and which to avoid. 


grapefruit seed extract to help 
ward off any problems and drink- 
ing loads of bottled water. And 
be aware of who is making your 
food. 

“At the end of the day,” says 
Dr. Denning, “it’ s all about per- 
sonal hygiene. Y ou know where 
your hands have been and when 
you last washed them - but it’s 


dangerous to assume that other 
people have done the same.” 
INSECT BITES 
Out comes the sun, and with it 
all the bugs too. Whether you’re 
walking on the beach, in the coun- 
try or by the sea, it’s likely that 
you’ll be bitten by a sandfly, 
horsefly, or just a normal midge 
at some stage this summer. 


Dr. Denning recommends 
drinking at least two litres of 
water a day, and soothing the 
sunburn with calendula cream or 
aloe vera gel. If, however, your 
sunburn has turned into blisters, 
be careful with the delicate skin. 

“What you don’t want to do 
is break the blister,” explains Dr 
Fontebasso. “Try and protect 


the skin and seek advice. You 
don’t want the blister to get in- 
fected. Ultimately sunburn is a 
burn and you have to be careful 
about healing in that situation.” 
HOLIDAY TUMMY 
After waiting months for your 
holiday to come round, you’ve 
finally made it out of the office 
into sunnier climes - and straight 


BioCare’ s TravelGuard is a good 
one - will help ward off any bad 
bacteria and stabilise your gut.” 

Both Dr. Denning and Dr. 
Fontebasso are adamant that be- 
ing cautious about local water and 
ice is key to staving off holiday 
tummy. 

“Don’t ever drink the local 
water and never take anything 
with ice in it,” says Dr. 
Fontebasso. “Avoid salads and 
unpeeled fruits too. Y ou need to 
be really cautious about how the 
food you’re eating abroad has 
been prepared. 

“Another thing to look out for 
is ice cream. You want to avoid 
ice cream that’ s been melted and 
refrozen, as there’ s a reasonable 
probability that you could get a 
gastro-intestinal infection from 
it.” 

Dr. Denning recommends 


onto the toilet. 

“The numbers of people get- 
ting food poisoning is definitely 
on the rise,” says Dr. Denning, 
“and that’ s because we tend to go 
on holiday tired and exhausted 
and our immune systems are 
down. 

“Taking a good probiotic be- 
fore and while you’re away - 


Sitting out in 
the sun for 
hours at a

increases 
your risk of

can also cause skin

holiday.

Get under yourskin 

Before you expose your body to the sun, andtherestof the world, Nina 
Goad of the British Association of Dermatologists (www.bad.org.uk.) 
suggests the following: 

“If you suffer from dry skin and want to get it silky smooth in time for 
summer, the key is to moisturise often - not just once a day,” she advises. 
“Steer well clear of harsh cleansing products containing alcohol which can 
strip the skin of its natural oils, so use a mild, hydrating cleanser instead. 

“If your skin reacts to different products by stinging, burning, becom- 
ing blotchy or developing a rash, try swapping to ones labelled as suitable 
for sensitive skin, or labelled ‘hypoallergenic’ . Lanolin and fragrance are 
sometimes responsible for irritation, so try ruling these ingredients out 
and see if your skin improves,” she continues. “If your reactions persist, 
a dermatologist can perform a patch test that will show you which ingre- 
dients are suitable for your skin and which are best avoided. 

“Swapping regular products for a pH-balanced, soap free cleanser fol- 
lowed by a fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturiser will help to protect 
the barrier function of your skin. Oily and acne prone skin benefits from 
oil-free, non comedogenic products, which means they won’t block pores. 
If you suffer from spots, look out for products containing salicylic or 
azelaic acid, or benzoyl peroxide, which can help stop the blocked pores 
that lead to spots. These are available in products available from the chem- 
ist. 

“Many people find tea tree oil helpful in combating problem skin. If 
this doesn’t work after a couple of months, talk to your GP who can pre- 
scribe treatments or may refer you to a dermatologist. 

“Lastly. It’s natural to want smooth skin in time for swimsuit season, 
but be careful. Exfoliation can actually damage the skin by removing its 
protective layer, so be gentle, and only exfoliate once a week,” she adds. 


For those of you susceptible 
to insect bites, taking B vitamins, 
like B- 1 2 or B-complex, can help 
prevent the pesky bugs from get- 
ting close to you - as do lavender 
and rosemary essential oils. Or 
you could just carry some insect 
repellent. 

“If you react badly to any sort 
of bites, take some antihista- 
mines before you go away,” ad- 
vises Dr. Fontebasso. “Witch 
hazel gel is great to carry with 
you, as it reduces the itch right 
away, and camomile works well 
too.” 

“A nifty trick is to put tooth- 
paste on the bite,” adds Dr. 
Denning. “It takes the sting right 


out and cools the bite down. A 
cold bath with oatmeal is also 
very soothing, whether you’re 
covered in insect bites, have arash 
or a sunburn. Oatmeal is an old 
remedy and can be surprisingly 
healing.” 

Your insect bites should die 
down within a day or two, but if 
they don’t, watch them closely. 

“If you start to get flu-like 
symptoms after you ’ ve been bit- 
ten, or the soreness starts to 
spread into general aches and 
pains,” warns Dr. Fontebasso, 
“you should go to hospital 
straight away as you don’t want 
those bites to get infected.”

Northern 
exposure 
with a light 
touch 

■ The warmth of Norwegian hospitality 
lights up the Arctic. 


At the furthest tip of Europe, 
just a thousand miles from the 
North Pole and buried under 
many feet of snow and thou- 
sands of tons of rock lies an un- 
likely shrine. Of all the people 
one might perhaps associate 
with Norway’s frozen North 
Cape, the King of Siam must be 
among the least probable. 

Yet in 1907 King 
Chulalongkorn, monarch of that 
hot and steamy country now 
known as Thailand and son of the 
man made famous by Yul 
Brynner in the King And I, made 
the trek to the barren rocky out- 
crop inside the Arctic Circle jut- 


ting out into the hostile Barents 
Sea. 

These days, thanks to a 
tarmac road, thousands of visi- 
tors take an easy drive to the cape 
to be able to say they have stood 
as far north as man can and still 
be in Europe. 

But a hundred years ago the 
trip involved getting a boat to the 
bottom of thousand foot cliffs, 
then scrambling up them. None- 
theless, the king made the effort 
and in return a grateful Norway 
commemorated the occasion by 
carving a room into the rock at 
the tip of the cape, which was 
filled with royal Siamese arte-

facts. 

After his death it became a 
shrine and is still visited today, 
apparently, by Thai pilgrims. 

Sadly none were there when 
we arrived at what is now the 
North Cape Hall to ask what 
they made of the rest of the ex- 
hibition centre, souvenir shop, 
chapel (weddings available on 
request), cafe, cinema and mu- 
seum. 

In fact as it was the dead of 
winter, and snowing, the only 
people who were there, apart 
from a handful of staff, were the 
40- odd of us who had taken the 
30-minute coach excursion from 
the good ship Nordly s, a combi- 
nation of coastal steamer and 
holiday cruiser with room for 
nearly 700 passengers. 

Our coach had followed its 
own personal snow plough up 
from the tiny port of 

Honningsvag which claims to be 
the country’s northernmost 
city, although as it has only 
2,500 inhabitants this is dis- 
puted by the people of 
Hammerfest which is slightly 
further south, but boasts a popu- 
lation of more than 5,000. 

But neither the town nor the 
cape were the real reason for our 
trip. We had arrived by air the 


day before in Tromso, several 
hundred miles south, to join the 
ship for a four-day voyage up 
and down the coast hoping to see 
the Northern Lights manifest 
themselves in the night sky. 

So discovering the region’s 
scenic delights and learning 
something of its history came as 
a bonus. It hasn’t all been rein- 
deers, sleigh bells and brightly- 
coloured jumpers for the Norwe- 
gians. During 1944, when the 
world’s attention was focused 
on the Allied advance across Eu- 
rope to Hitler’s Germany, the 
far north of Norway suffered 
terribly. 

It was a key strategic region 
for the Third Reich, controlling 
the sea approaches to northern 
Russia whose border lies only a 
short distance away. As Russian 
troops advanced, the Nazis or- 
dered a scorched earth retreat, 
forcibly moving the entire popu- 
lation south and effectively 
making them refugees in their 
own country. 

Then they burned or blew up 
virtually everything. As 
Hammerfest’ s Museum of Re- 
construction graphically shows, 
whole towns were smashed leav- 
ing only outlines on the black- 
ened earth where buildings had

once stood. 

Throughout the war the 
Hurtigruten line, which had al- 
ready been going for 40 years, 
kept up its vital sailings between 
towns and settlements, losing 
many ships in the process - 
mostly to Allied guns who mis- 
took them for enemy vessels in 


blackout conditions . 

Thankfully the company sur- 
vived and today still sails to a 
regular timetable along the length 
of Norway, delivering and pick- 
ing up supplies while at the same 
time serving as a holiday home 
for tourists. This dual role lends 
an air of honest toil to the voy- 



The wonderous Northern Lights.

age as forklift trucks shuttle be- 
tween ship and warehouse at 
each stop laden with pallets of 
goods. 

It also means the company can 
offer a huge range of holiday pack- 
ages, leaving you with your own 
choice of where and when to j oin 
and leave, with a combination of 
sea and air travel. This is backed 
by a series of optional excursions 
ranging from whale watching to 
driving snowmobiles down a fro- 
zen fjord. 

The Nordlys’s interior is far 
from that of utilitarian cargo car- 
rier. Luxury lounges with leather 
chairs provide a comfy warm 
bubble in a frozen world as the 
ship glides past snowy moun- 
tain landscapes. A large dining 
room serves breakfast, dinner 
and lunch and there is an internet 
cafe and ship- wide wireless ac- 
cess for those who cannot bear 
the thought of severing their 
electronic umbilicals for a few 
days. 

The restaurant food reflects 
the location, with reindeer and 
various smoked fish featuring 
strongly although there is a 
snack bar serving sandwiches, 
pizza and hot dogs. 

There are also several bars, but 
beware. While nothing in Norway 
is cheap, the price of alcohol can 
leave the unwary with a tab of 
Oliver Reed proportions. How 
about £1 1/€14 for a pint of beer 
or £6.50/€8.20 for a glass of 
wine? These are not specially 
marked up ship’s prices ; it is the 
same on land thanks to heavy 
government taxes. 

To be fair, Hurtigruten allows 
passengers to consume their own 
duty frees in their cabins, al- 
though the standard accommo- 
dation, while comfortable and 
clean, is more Channel ferry than 
Caribbean cruiser and not the 
most appealing environment for 
a pre-dinner glass. 

The company takes pains to 
ensure its passengers are looked 
after in many ways, but one of 
the things it cannot guarantee is 
the weather and after two 
cloudy nights we were begin- 


ning to fear we might be going 
home without seeing the North- 
ern Lights. 

But on night three the skies 
cleared and at around 9pm a 
ship’s announcement declared 
the Aurora Borealis was up and 
running off the starboard side, 
sparking a hurried slipping on of 
weatherproof coats, hats, gloves 
and boots among the passen- 
gers . It was minus 1 OC on deck, 
with a biting wind making it feel 
even colder. And there they 
were. The lights may be a sim- 
ple natural effect caused by so- 
lar particles interacting with the 
Earth’s magnetic field, but 
that’s bit like saying music is 
merely a series of audible vibra- 
tions with a discernable pattern. 

Our light show lacked the reds 
and greens we had seen in photo- 
graphs, but was none the less im- 
pressive and for more than a hour 
we watched shimmering curtains 
of phosphorescence dance in the 
skies above. Words really cannot 
do justice to the phenomenon. It 
was what we came for and we 
were happy. And we were one up 
on the King of Siam. He may have 
his own shrine, but his visit was 
in summer - when the lights are 
not visible.

1-OU Reed - Allgarve edition 


Lou Reed is an influential 
American rocksinger-song- 
writer and guitarist. He first 
came to prominence as the 
guitarist and main singer- 
songwriter of The Velvet Un- 
derground (1965-1973). 
The band gained little 
mainstream attention dur- 
ing their career, butinhind- 



Expensive Soul 


sight became one of the 
most influential of their era . 
As the Velvets’ main song- 
writer, Reed wrote about 
personal experiences that 
rarely had been examined 
in rock and roll, including 
bondage and S&M (Venus 
in Furs), transvestites (Sister 
Ray and Candy Says), drug 
culture (Heroin and I’m 
Waiting for the Man), and 
transsexuals undergoing 
surgery (Lady Godiva’s Op- 
eration). As a guitarist, he 
was a pioneer in the use of 
distortion, high volume 
feedback, and nonstand- 
ard tunings. 

July 1 9th at Lisbon Campo 
Pequeno.

Expensive Soul is a Portu- 
guese hip-hop group, al- 
though its musical style in- 
corporates various other 


styles, ranging from Soul 
and Reggae to R&B. 

The original group was 
composed by Demo (MC) 
and New Max 
(MC/Producer), 
both from Lega 
da Palmeira. 

Together 
since 1 999, 
only in 2004 
did they be- 
come better 
known with the 
release of their 
first formal al- 
bum, "B.I.".

BOOK REVIEW 


The Luxe by Anna 

Published as a paper- 
back original by Penguin. 

Elizabeth Holland is a 
privileged young woman 
living during the 1800s in 
New York. She's rich, intelli- 
gent, beautiful, and wants 
for nothing. Even her best 
friends envy her - a recipe 
for disaster. But Elizabeth 
has a secret that could 
threaten the downfall of her 
family - she is in love with 
Will, the coachman. When 


Godbersen 

servant Lina - who is also in 
love with Will - finds out 
about the affair, she is con- 
sumed by jealousy and sets 
out for revenge. With so 
many people attempting 
to ruin, and run, her life, 
Elizabeth tries to please 
everyone. The last straw is 
Henry Schoonmaker - the 
man her mother has ar- 
ranged for her to marry in 
two weeks. This scandal- 
filled book is an easy read 


and although predict- 
able at times, some 
loose ends are left un- 
tied at the end. It's the 
ideal novel to devour 
on holiday.

One year after the ineredible 
events of The Lion, the Witch 
and the Wardrobe, the Kings 
and Queens ofNamia find them- 
selves baek in that faraway won- 
drous realm, only to diseover 
that more than 1300 years have 
passed in Namian time. During 
their absenee, the Golden Age of 
Narnia has beeome extinet, 
Narnia has been eonquered by 
the T ehnarines and is now under 
the eontrol of the evil King Miraz, 
who rules the land withoutmerey. 

The four ehildren will soon 


The characters of C.S. 
Lewis’s timeless fantasy 
come to life once again in 
this newest instalment of the 
Chronicles of Narnia series, 
in which the Pevensie 
siblings are magically 
transported back from 
England to the world of 
Narnia, where athrilling, 
perilous new adventure and 
an even greater test of their 
faith and courage awaits 
them. 


n a m o 
marks 
the tri- 
umphant 
return of 

these two hilarious, slaeker anti-heroes. The movie 
stars John Cho as Harold and Kal Penn as Kumar, 
two Stoners who can’t seem to get a break. Their last 
adventure found them travelling across the city to 
find a White Castle hamburger in order to satisfy a 
weed-induced case of “the munchies”. 

This time, the boys get themselves in trouble trying 
to sneak a bong onboard a flight to Amsterdam. Now, 
being suspected of terrorism, they are forced to run 
from the law and try to find a way to prove their inno- 
cence. What follows is an irreverent and epic jour- 
ney of deep thoughts, deeper inhaling and a wild trip 
around the world that is as “un-PC” as it gets. 


Somewhere deep inside the Santa Fe 
desert there have been a number of blood 
curdling murders ... a real killing spree . 

The local police station is in disarray. 
Captain Billings, Officers Degrasso and 
Wrighthaveapprehended three witnesses: 
Officer Jack Bennet, one of their own, 
tough, but affected by recent events; 
Bobbi, young, high as a kite on cocaine; 
and Stephanie, eight years old, who has 
just witnessed her family being brutally 
murdered by two figures dressed in 
jumpsuits, gloves, boots, and horrifyingly 
disfiguring blue latexmasks. Even though 
everyone is ready to go, they are still wait- 
ing. . . waiting for the Feds to arrive. 

As the witnesses tell their stories one 
by one to the FBI agents (Bill Pullman & 
Julia Ormond) who have now taken over, 
the murderous events unravel before our 
eyes. It becomes clear, little Stephanie 
knows something. 

And then, more bodies are found. . . 


When five American col- 
lege students arrive in Ire- 
land to go on a camping trip 
with their old college buddy 
Jake, they are in high spirits. 

Jake has promised them 
the “trip of a lifetime” be- 
cause he claims Ireland has 
the best magic mushrooms in 
the world. It sounded like it 
would be great fun. Now 
that they are tripping, things 
don’t seem so fiinny. Bluto, 
one of the gang is missing. 
Tara thinks he’s dead be- 
cause she feels she has seen 
his death before but nobody 
believes her they think she 
is just out of it. They’re out 
ofittoo. That was the whole 
point of coming here, but 
there is something out there, 
something watching them, 
something that will kill them 
if they don’t get out of the 
forestand get help. 

Jake (Jack Huston) is the 


instigator of the trip and self-con- 
fessed mushroom expert. Tara 
(Lindsey Haun), is his sometime 
girlfriend; Troy (Max Kasch), is 
a would-be martial arts devotee; 
Holly (Alice Greczyn), is his 
quirky girlfriend; Bluto (Rob 
Hoffman), is the Jock of the 


group, and his girlfriend, Lisa 
(Maya Hazen), is the resident 
glamour girl. Togetherthey will 
embark on a journey that will 
test not just their friendship but 
their sanity. Will they get out 
before they lose more than their 
sanity? 


Narnia from Miraz’ s tyrannical 
hold, and restore magic and glory 
to the land. 

Directed once again by veteran 
director Andrew Adamson, the 
film reunites the original cast and 
creative team behind the block- 
buster first film in the series.

Dr Michael Sussmann, is said to hove told 
reporters the operation, which was slated for 
Tuesday, July 1 5th, had to be moved forward 
“for medical reasons”. Sussmann tells 
People.com, “The babies are doing well. The 
operation went just perfectly. Angelina is in very 
good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. Fie was 
there and all was well”. Fie adds, “The mother 
and father are very, very happy”. Jolie and 
actor partner Pitt are already parents to 
adopted children Maddox, aged six. Pax, four,

during the delivery, with their doctor joking how 
Pitt “was my assistant”. Dr Sussman, tells

were happy”. “Fie (Pitt) was ... perfectly calm, 
totally determined, very pleased to be at the 
birth of his children, very moved and very 
emotional”. And when asked how long Jolie was 
expected to stay in hospital for, he said, “I don’t 
know. She will stay for a few days. You know, in 
Europe it isn’t like in the United States, where the 
patients go home after three days. They will stay 
a bit longer until everything is okay. The babies 
are fine. The babies are with the mother and 
father and they are fine”. The first pictures of the 
tots have reportedly been sold for$l 1 million to

You’ve Been Framed! (ITV1 Granada, 7.10pm) 

Veteran viewers of this, the daddy of all camcorder catastrophe shows, could be forgiven 
for thinking that they’ve seen the current batch of clips plenty of times before. But you’d 
be wrong. Apparently there are literally thousands of new clips sent in every year; they must 
just look rather similar to the classics. After all, people falling off bikes, logs and tables tend 
to look alike. Harry Hill has clearly boosted the show’s popularity and his surreal musings 
are the making of this great Saturday night entertainment show. If you’ve always fancied 
sending off a clip, the team behind the programme are currently looking for new mishaps 
captured on camera. One of the team said: ‘You can send in as many clips as you like — 
the more the merrier, and the better your chances of getting one on the show. When your 
tape is returned to you, you will find enclosed a letter informing you whether we have short- 
listed and made copies of your clip(s) for our video files. Once on our files, your clip is then 
available for ‘possible’ use in one of our shows. We cannot give any guarantees, however, 
that a clip will be selected. Pop the tape in the post and then forget about it for a few months. 
This is another reason we suggest you send us a copy of your tape — otherwise you could 
be without your favourite funny video for quite a long time.” So, now you know.

Gear (BBC2, 8pm) 

Watching Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond trying to 
impress Alfa Romeo car judges the other week could rank as one of the 
funniest TV sights of the year. As Richard limped along in his exhausted 
vehicle, many viewers found it hard to catch their breath as Clarkson and 
May tried to hide his tow rope with their own dated Alfas. However, it begged 
the question: is Top Gear more of a light entertainment show these days than 
the serious car magazine it once was? Well, that’s open to debate, but for 
as long as the TG producers keep challenging Jeremy, James and Richard 
to ever-trickier tasks, and having a few giggles into the bargain, there’s a 
good bet millions of fans — many of who don’t give a hoot about motoring 
— will keep tuning in. This week, expect more rib-tickling tasks; assorted car 
reviews from king of the similes Clarkson, and another star in a reasonably 
priced car. Can anyone beat Gavin and Stacey’s Rob Brydon and James 
Corden’s recent times? Well, considering they were in the wet and half way 
down the leader board, the answer is: probably.

The Gadget Show (five, 8pm) 

The British summer may be a traditional washout, but the Gadget Show team 
are still in the mood for some funshine. Suzi and Jason examine a range of 
essential holiday items, first up underwater cameras. When seeking clear, 
high-quality images of beautiful coral reefs and exotic fish, is it best to splash 
out on a professional camera designed for use underwater, or will a waterproof 
casing for a regular digital camera suffice? Jason and Suzi get swimming and 
snapping to find out. Next up, the travelling twosome take a look at the most 
rugged luggage on the market. After packing their valuables, they test some 
allegedly hardwearing suitcases to destruction in order to discover which case 
is most likely to survive the rigours of airline baggage handling. Finally, the 
presenters go head-to-head to test some of the coolest methods of water 
transport available. The first leg of the race sees Jason and Suzi use vehicles 
that rely on manpower to cut through the waves, while the second leg takes 
place onboard motorised conveyances. Which method will prove more 
efficient, and which presenter will come out on top?

Pick of the Da 


Bonekickers (BBC1, 9pm) 

History fans and lovers of great drama are being entertained in their droves with 
this, the Beeb’s latest glossy series. The latest edition sees Gillian and her team 
of intrepid archaeologists delving into the story of one of Britain’s most famous — 
and enigmatic — figures. When the team are called to Bath after a tremor, Gillian 
and Ben find themselves in a desperate race against time as they probe the life 
of Queen Boudicca, who famously rebelled against Roman invaders, while at the 
same time they face danger from the increasingly unstable site. However, the latest 
excavation provides a neat twist in the Iceni warrior woman’s life, as it seems to 
point to her having links with a Roman soldier named Quintanus. Did she kill him, 
or were they lovers? Finds, including Celtic metalwork and a human jawbone, only 
serve to deepen the mystery. It seems astonishing, but as the environment becomes 
even more deadly, Gillian and her team aim to prove one of this country’s most 
famous leaders had a much closer relationship with her sworn enemy than the history 
books would have us believe. Julie Graham, Hugh Bonneville, Adrian Lester and 
Shauna Macdonald are among the cast.

Pick of the Da 


Burn Up (BBC2, 9pm) 

Brace yourself for this explosive, two-part thriller from Simon Beaufoy, the man who 
brought us The Full Monty. While that charming comedy drama tickled our ribs, this 
gritty offering has only one aim — to grab our attention and focus it sharply on the 
issue of climate change. It begins in the Saudi desert, as a team of geologists meet 
a sticky end. Thankfully, one of their number, a man named Masud, survives and 
makes his way back to civilisation. Meanwhile, Sir Mark Foxbay, CEO of Arrow Oil, 
unexpectedly resigns, and hands the reigns of power to his son-in-law, Tom. The latter 
is then confronted by furious eco-warrior Mika, who tells him the company has rendered 
her homeland uninhabitable. Matters spiral out of control when the young woman takes 
drastic action to highlight her cause, while Tom comes under pressure to stand by 
his employers as the Kyoto 2 conference looms. However, the situation takes a turn 
for the worse when Masud surfaces in London and meets government fixer Philip 
Crowley, who makes some shocking discoveries of his own concerning Arrow Oil. Little 
do any of them know the impact they will have on the entire world. Rupert Penry-Jones, 
Bradley Whitford, Neve Campbell and Marc Warren head the cast.

John Barrowman: The Making of Me (BBC1, 9pm) 

Some may say Torchwood star John Barrowman is over-exposed, but that doesn’t stop 
him from appearing in this fascinating new series. He’s the first of three ceiebrities who 
undergo an extraordinary journey to get to the bottom of what they think is their defining 
trait. Before you start muttering this show is in danger of pigeon-hoiing peopie, hoid on. 
Scientific testing and the iatest, cutting edge techniques wiii try to answer the age-oid 
question, are we shaped by nature or nurture? Here, Barrowman sets out to iearn the 
truth about his sexuaiity. He begins with an anaiysis of his DNA, comparing it to his straight 
brother’s, before heading to Los Angeies. There, the singer, dancer and actor aims to 
prove a pet theory that his homosexuaiity originated from events in the womb. He’s aiways 
maintained that, from the moment he became aware of his sexuaiity, being gay wasn’t 
a choice, but the way he was. Aiong the way, the versatiie entertainer meets a variety 
of ceiebrities and extraordinary individuais who iift the iid on the traits which they beiieve 
define them. Wiii Barrowman’s conviction be strengthened by the scientific resuits, and 
can his beiief that he was simpiy born that way stand up to scrutiny?

Celebrity MasterChef (BBC1, 8.30pm) 

There has been a iot of hard toi! since Andi Peters, Joe McGann and Ciare 
Grogan contested the opening cook-off aimost four weeks ago, and it’s safe 
to say that whoever emuiates previous winners Matt Dawson and Nina 
Sawaiha wii! have thoroughiy earned their crown. The third series of the 
MasterChef spin-off has been entertaining to say the ieast and this year’s 
contestants have been an interesting mixture of actors, comedians, sports 
stars and musicians. Resident judges John Torode and Gregg Waiiace have 
been on hand to whip the ceiebrities into shape and they’ve had a tough time 
in deciding who stays and who goes. Last week saw the eight remaining 
contestants whittied down to four in two semi-fina! heats. The first four 
ceiebrities had their work cut out for them as they catered en masse for 600 
brickiayers, whiie the second four had to cook a two-course mea! for 
restaurant critics Charies Campion, Kate Spicer and Jay Rayner. As of yet, 
it is stii! unknown who wii! be contesting this evening’s grand finai, or what 
chaiienges Messrs Torode and Waiiace have in store for the finai four.

Lisbon Show Weekend 

. . This last weekend saw the Lisbon and Mediterranean 

Shows take place at the Campo Grande in Lisbon. 


Great effort had been made 
this year to provide more shade 
for the dogs and ourselves and 
whilst very hot, there was a re- 
freshing wind blowing. I had 
taken my eages with their re- 
fleetive eovers, one per dog as 
I felt it would be eooler than the 
two dogs being eurled up to- 
gether in one eage. 

Harry had a wonderful day 
on Saturday and I will let Laura 
tell you all about that. My two 
held their own amongst some 
very beautiful Portuguese Wa- 
ter Dogs. Sunday was better for 
them than Saturday. Merlin, 
however, was taken ill halfway 
through the elass. I eouldn’t 
quite work out what was wrong 
with him at the time . 

I have to admit initially I did 
think he was being diffieult, he 
seemed ‘ freaked’ , he had been 


perfeetly ‘on form’ 1 5 mins ear- 
lier. He had to go baek in the ring 
for his seeond visit and he eol- 
lapsed, he eould not hold himself 
up for a short while. He reeov- 
ered enough to ‘ glide ’ , he did not 
mn, around the ring but obviously 
a Judge is hardly going to take 
mueh notiee of a dog that ean’t 
stand properly. Julie took him 
baek to his eage and said he didn’t 
seem right, but eould not pinpoint 
why. Sinee then Merlin has had a 
very badupsettummy, Cleojoined 
in today. We know there was a 
dog nearby that was ill, I suspeet 
that is where they got this from. 
They have starved themselves 
today so hopefully they will be on 
the road to reeovery in a day or 
so. The heat would not have 
helped them I am sure, we de- 
eided to leave early as there was 
obviously something wrong with 


Merlin. Obviously they eannot 
tell us what they feel like we 
have to work it out. 

However, we had a great 
weekend. Julie took me and I 
mustjust say publieally how bril- 
liant she was at negotiating the 
roads of Lisbon, she got me to 
the show well in time, then got 
me to the Hotel in the depths of 
Lisbon and the mountain pass 
she negotiated into the under- 
ground ear park. W ith the same 
self assuranee she got me out 
of that ear park, whieh proved 
more of a ehallenge than get- 
ting in, baek to the show and 
baek home, a superstar, thank 
you Julie.

Congratulations 
Harry 


As promised, I am now able to con- 
firm Harry’ s great success at The World 
Dog Show Stockholm. The whole trip 
from beginning to end was a wonderful 
experience and great fun for my self and 
Harry. W e arrived on Thursday 3rd July 
with plenty of time to prepare the dogs 
we had, and to relax with friends and 
enjoy the warmest Swedish Hospitality 
offered to us by our friends Lotta and 
Kennith. 

Saturday night was spentbathing and 
grooming Harry. Martha spent almost 
3 and a half hours preparing Harry a 
very exhausting j ob. 

Sunday morning, and everyone was 
up early to arrive at the show with time 
to organize everything. Harry was 
showing at 8.30 and by 8. 15 we were 
all sitting nervously around the ring wait- 
ing to see Harry and Martha. 

Harry (Light My Fire da Pedra da 
Anixa) was competing against 1 05 other 
Portuguese Water Dogs for the World 
Winner title and the 
competition was 
very good with dogs 
competing from 
many different 
countries including 
Holland, Norway, 

Finland and Swe- 
den. 

First of all Harry 
won his class Best 
Junior Male against 
14 other Junior 
Males. This win 
gave him the title 
Junior World Win- 
ner. He then went 
on to win Best Male 
and then Best of 
Breed from 105 other Portuguese Wa- 
ter Dogs. We were all so happy and ex- 
cited it’s hard to describe how we all 
felt. Everyone was hugging and crying 
it was just fantastic! ! 

We then had to wait until the end of 
the day for Harry ’ s turn in the main ring. 
He was to show twice in the main ring, 
once for the Junior F inals and then again 
for Best Dog in Group 8 . 

Martha and Harry looked fantastic 
and stole the show for the juniors and 
won Best Junior. He was in the ring with 
about forty different juniors of all dif- 
ferent breeds. Those of us who man- 
aged to get a seat in the main ring were 
up shouting and screaming and those of 
us who didn’t watched in awe on the 
big screen. With all this excitement we 
then had to wait about an hour before 
Harry was next in the ring for best in 
group 8. 

Group 8 is Working Dogs, Water 
Dogs and Retrievers. There were 15 
dogs in the ring with Light My Fire da 
Pedra da Anixa and to everyone ’ s great 
delight he was awarded place. 


It was an amazing result for a dog of only 1 4 months old and 
we could not of been happier and it goes without saying we are 
so proud of Harry and Martha for doing so well. 

We left Sweden the following Wednesday and by Thursday 
we began preparing 
Harry for Lisbon at 
the weekend. I trav- 
elled home with my 
friends Marta and 
Tiago Ribeiro. 
Marta is also Har- 
ry’s handler and I 
would like to thank 
them both andinpar- 
ticularly Martha for 
all the hard work, 
dedication and love 
she shows in looking 
after Harry and 
keeping him in such 
fantastic condition. 
Even though Harry 
is a spectacular 
show dog, without Marta’ s help Harry would not be where he 
is today. But above all it’s a pleasure to have them both as 
friends and this makes our travels to the shows with Harry all 
the more enj oyable ! 

I stayed with Martha and Tiago at there house in Ferreira 
Do Zezere for the two days we had between getting back from 
Stockholm and leaving to go to Lisbon. W e spent two full days 
preparing 16 dogs ready for Lisbon. Martha and Tiago are 
both Professional Handlers and show dogs for clients from all 
over the world. With between 8 to 10 years of professional 
showing experience there expertise is second to none and we 
could not ask for better handlers for Harry. 

W ith our amazing win in Stockholm no one knew quite what 
to expect at Lisbon. It was an important show as there was 
1 7 00 dogs competing and it was possible to gain a title at this 
show for example Lisbon Junior W inner. 

Again Harry did us all proud. He won Best Junior in Breed, 
Best Of Breed, and then in the main ring he came second in 
Best Junior in Show. At this point we were just so happy we 
couldn’t believe how well he was doing. He then went on to 
win Group 8, which meant he was in the grand final for best in 
show. Before that he was also entered in Portuguese Breeds 
where he gained first place and all we had to wait for was Best 
In Show. I think we all really thought our day couldn’t get any 
better. Everyone was hoping that Harry would be placed but 
it’s a lot for a dog of only 14 months. As he has already had 
two Reserve Best in Show we were all thinking could Harry

Understanding 
Pet food Labels 

This is not an easy subject but I will add the basics as it may 
help some people choose which food to give to their pet. Magni- 
fying glass maybe useful when shopping though! I suggest the 
internet for further study. 

Propylene glycol This is closely related to antifreeze and is 
found in semi moist foods to maintain water content and texture. 
Some cats become addicted to food containing it. It has been 
suggested that it can cause destruction of red blood cells. 

Propyl Gallate or E3 1 0 An antioxidant used to prevent fats 
and oils going rancid. Used in chewing gum and meat products. 
Banned from children’ s foods in the US . 

Ethoxyquin This is used as a preservative and is thought to 
be one of the compounds most likely to cause damage animal 
health. It was developed as a rubber stabiliser. In US is used as 
a pesticide. 

Butylated hydroxytoluene or BHT This is used as a pre- 
servative to prevent fat going rancid. Is implicated as a cause of 
bladder and thyroid cancer and damage to the liver. 

Butylated hydroxyanisole or BHA Again a preservative 
to prevent fat going rancid. Implicated as a cause of stomach 
cancer. 

In Dr Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health in Cats 
and Dogs (available from Paws4Pets or Amazon) he looks at 
artificial colourings in pet foods. He states that similar dyes as 
contained in pet food were banned from human food 3 decades 
ago as they were linked to cancer and various other medical 
issues. 

Cereals If the pet food just says ‘cereals’ just ask yourself 
why — they should say what is in the food. Brown Rice, Oats 
and Barley as unprocessed whole grains are high in nutrients 
and easily digested. Wheat is much harder to digest and many 
dogs are intolerant, S andy was intolerant of wheat as was Julie ’ s 
first Bearded Collie, Buster. Many pet foods are now produced 
gluten free because of this. 

Meat Content A gain if the pet food states meat or animal 
content on the label one must ask why. Often it says By-prod- 
ucts or derivatives. Many people believe that this can include 
feathers, beaks, hair, faeces, however this is notnecessarily true. 
It can include brain, spleen, lungs, blood and intestines. If it states 
Chicken meal, lamb meal, it indicates fresh clean meat which 
has been cooked, dried and ground. 

For example :- 

If label says Beef then 70%- 1 00% must be Beef. 

If label says Beef Dinner then 10%-70% must be Beef. 

If label says Beef Flavour then 0%-4% must be Beef. 

If label says with Beef or contains Beef at least 4% Beef 
must be included. 

Other ingredients 

Soya and other vegetable proteins are difficult for them to 
digest. 

Dairy products are difficult. Lactose in milk can cause diar- 
rhoea. Dogs and Cats should not be fed Milk and Cheese. (I 
must remember that as mine like cheese !) 

Whilstthis is a very complicated subject, this is just a simpli- 
fied guide put together using information from various sources. 
Unfortunately it is sometimes very difficult to read the labels on 
food, some dog foods you cannot even track down the content, 
there are a couple of big named brands I have been tracking for 
months and cannot find any reference to the food content any- 
where. It states it is Natural Food but no where does it state 
what is in if s Natural F ood. Legally, if sold to the public, it should 
be displayed ^they have hidden it well. 

If this helps anyone it will have been worth trawling the pages 
to put this together. If anyone needs any further information just 
ring me. I have the Dr Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural 
Health for Dogs and Cats and can look anything up.

Paws Thoughts 


In order to stock products at 
Paws4Pets hours of research 
takesplace. Jim will confirm that 
I seem to spend my entire life 
‘ glued to the laptop and internet’ . 
That is very true. Well, the other 
part of my life is glued to a brush 
and comb with a dog, it has to be 
said — no room for anything else. 

My research has been ongo- 
ing for many, many years andboth 
Lennie and Sandy benefitted 
from my research. It has to be 
noted that both Lennie and Sandy 
lived LONG lives, longer than 
their ‘expected’ number of years, 
both were fed good quality food 
and given the latest drugs avail- 
able for any illness and problem 
they ‘threw’ at me. I researched 
every illness, then covered every 
treatment throughout the world 
and chose the best product I could. 
Obviously tracking down the 
product then became an issue 
and here in Portugal it has often 
been quite a challenge, especially 
medicines. I have had to rely on 
my large group of friends in many 
cases. I belong to select ‘support’ 
groups — groups of ‘like minded’ 
people who only want the best for 
their pets — in my case my re- 
search has been doggy based, as 
it has been my doggies that have 
needed help. My cats were pretty 
problem free, I have had no cats 
since moving to Portugal. These 
groups continue to provide me 
with many valuable links and 
much sensible information. They 
are always there, even in the mid- 
dle of the night if I need help, 
America and Australian mem- 
bers are awake when the UK and 
Europe are asleep. 

Long ‘in depth’ research into 
pet foods was my - - - 
route to Bums Pet 
Nutrition. There 
were many reasons 
I ended at Bums — 
it started with a 
process of elimina- 
tion. I was having 
problems with 
Lennie and his Auto 
Immune, firstly with 
his Endocrine Pan- 
creatic Insuffi- 
ciency, he was put 
on a very expensive 
food which ap- 
peared to contain very 
little it seemed, this was fol- 
lowed by Sandy and her itching 
and flaky skin. It then became 
very noticeable how many dogs 
were suffering from allergy re- 
lated problems, far more than 
there used to be. This led me on 
to checking just what was in the 
foods I had been recommended 
to feed. That was an education 

- read “Food Pets Die For” by 




Ann N Martin (available from 
Paws4Pets or Amazon) quite 
frightening. It made me recon- 
sider using foods generated by 
‘faceless’ companies as you re- 
ally do not know what goes in 
where. I have also been made 
aware of many recalls of food 
manufactured in the USA and 
Canada, so I tend to avoid them if 
I can. I prefer to stick with the 
smaller family food companies, 
yes the companies do grow, but 
at the end of the day John Bums 
did visit our shop when he was on 
holiday unlike the founder of the 
bigger companies. 

Next I was led to find a ‘wet 
food’, first I tried Naturediet 
which was fine until a complete 
change in their factory and the 
way they processedthe food. The 
consistency changed and it was 
not as palatable, the dogs did not 
like it as much as the original. Not 
just my dogs this was noticed with 
many friends dogs. Back to the 
search and I foundNatures Menu 
www.naturesmenu.co.uk which 
has filled the wet food require- 
ment. It comes in pouches, much 
easier to use and dispose of than 
tins. My dogs love it and would 
quite happily eat it day in day out 
if they were allowed — which 
they are not! They have it as a 
treat with their Bums. We are in 
discussion with another wet food 
— Natures Harvest which we 
hope to add to our range. Check 
it out on WWW. 
bertiescomplete.co.uk 

We are about to add another 
new dried food to our range. 
Organipets Food, again a small 
pet food company which is grow- 
ing fast as people appreciate what 
they are do- 
ing and how 
much the 
pets love the 
food. 
Organipets 
states it is the 
voice for pet 
wellbeing, 
dogs and cats 
cannot speak 
for them- 
selves, (they 
do try), but if 
they did they 
would ask for 
this food. The 
products are or- 
ganic. The company demands the 
highest standard of animal wel- 
fare from its suppliers, chicken is 
organic and free range. The prod- 
ucts contain no pesticides, ferti- 
lisers, artificial colours, flavours 
or preservatives. The whole- 
some products are hypoallergic 
and are made from natural ingre- 
dients. The company is accred-

We do, however, 
listen to our clients 
and we will always 
obtain a specific 
food that they want 
for their pets, hence 
we stock Nutro, 

James Wellbeloved 
and Vitalin — yes all 
owned by big com- 
panies but custom- 
ers have requested 
them. 

We also under- 
stand that money is 
important, yes 
the bag of dog 
food in the su- 
permarket 
does look 
cheaper, some 
dogs will 
thrive on it, 
others will 
not. Unfortu- 
nately these foods are never 
transparent, to find out exactly 
what ingredients are within is dif- 
ficult. The same applies to the 
leading dog foods — again some 
dogs will do well on it, some will 
not. It is all a matter of your own 
choice for what you put in your 
dog. Often the amount you have 
to feed to your dog is larger with 
other foods than with, for in- 
stance, Bums, so whilst some ini- 
tially may look cheaper in the long 
mn it may not be. The leading 
brands are considerably more ex- 
pensive than Bums. It is also 
quite noticeable how much resi- 
due there is to pickup from other 
foods, this is obviously because 
the body does not need those in- 
gredients, so why pump the body 
full of them, why not give them 
just what they need to be happy 
and healthy. Cleo and Merlin 
regularly point out to me how lit- 
tle residue they leave from food. 
We were away at a show at the 
weekend, we left our house at 
07.30am Saturday, those two 
dogs did not need me to use the 
‘poo’ bag until 09.00am Sunday 
for Merlin and 18.00pm Sun- 



day!!! for Cleo — they are so 
funny when they are away. But, 
what I am trying to say is I know 
with my dogs when they ‘ go ’ and 
that is once a 
day, sometimes 
twice, never 
more unless ill. 
This leads me to 
believe that they 
need all the 
goodness that I 
put in them with 
their food. 

We try and 
keep our prices 
as low as is fea- 
sible bearing in 
mind all the vari- 
ous increases the 
manufac- 
turers and 
transport 
companies 
are passing 
on. Yes our 
lines will 
have to in- 
crease in 
price in the 
next couple of weeks, we have 
no choice, all the manufacturers 
have sent over increases in the 
last few weeks. We will endeav- 
our to keep the price as low as 
we can as we care about our cli- 
ents and their pets. 

We are happy to hear from 
anyone if you need to track down 
a product for your pet, we will 
make every effort to supply you 
all just what you want. We are 
also happy to hear from anyone 
with a problem they need help 
with, if we can help we will. Just 
ring me for a chat anytime, I am 
always available. The chances 
are I have come across most 
problems with my tribe over the 
years, if I haven’t one of my 
friends on my groups may have. 
Our pets caimot help themselves 
they rely on us to do that for them, 
in return they give us their uncon- 
ditional love for as long as they 
are with us.

Remin(jers 

Although I don’t have ahuge 
problem remembering things, I 
often fear that I will forget im- 
portant meetings or events. I 
have developed the habit of ask- 
ing people to remind me if I 
schedule an appointment or 
make plans to participate in an 
event with them. Though I 
carry a calendar in my purse, I 
sometimes forget to write key 
items on my schedule. 

My husband’ s newest organ- 
izer is an I-pod touch. Not only 
can he save hundreds of photos, 
videos and songs but it is also his 
address book where he records 
all contact information. He also 
uses the calendar feature to re- 
member important dates and 
events. He can sync the I-pod 
with our apple laptop and check 
his calendar on either the com- 
puter or the I-pod. 

B oth calendars and electronic 
data devices work great for 
helping us to organize our lives 
and to remember where we are 
supposed to be and when we 


need to be there. Of course, if you 
are not in the habit of regularly 
looking at the organizers, they 
can’t be of much help to you. 
This is true about any memory 
device or assistant. 

I recently planned a lunch date 
with my mother. Arriving at her 
apartment ten minutes early, I 
entered to see if she needed any 
help with the new computer she 
had recently purchased. As I en- 
tered her efficiency apartment 
through her kitchen, I had to 
smile. Instantly I spotted three 
notes written with magic mark- 
ers on pieces of scrapped paper. 
One was taped to her front door 
knob, one to the toaster, and one 
to the front of her refrigerator. As 
long as I can remember. Mom has 
gone a bit overboard with writ- 
ing reminders. Though to me it 
seems like ridiculous overkill, the 
system works well for her. Smil- 
ing, I asked for her permission to 
remove all the notes as we exited 
the apartment on our way to the 
restaurant. 


There are times when re- 
membering is a good and wise 
thing. Appointments and 
commitments, blessings God 
has given, birthdays and anni- 
versaries are all things worth re- 
membering. Sometimes, how- 
ever, it is better to forget, to de- 
liberately put things out of our 
minds. We are wise to forget 
wrongs done against us and 
hurtful words spoken in haste 
by those we love. I Corinthians 
13 reminds us that love does 
not keep an account of the 
wrongs others do toward us. 
“Love is not easily angered, it 
keeps no record of wrongs. ” 
We do well when we choose to 
forget the sins of others just as 
God chooses to “remember 
our sins no more. ” (Isaiah 
43:25 and Hebrews 8:12)

Robert Murat ‘vindicated’ 

British ex-pat Robert Murat has received £600,000 (or €750,000) after his lawyers 
struck a deal at the High Court in London on Thursday with several British 
newspapers. The 34-year old, declared an arquido or person of interest to the case 
1 4 months ago, also received an apology from the newspapers over allegations 
they made regarding his private life since May 2007. Included in the settlement are 
Michaela Wuiczach and Sergey Malinka, who were similarly victims of some 
unscrupulous reports. In the meantime, the Attorney-General has promised “a 
solution” to the case early next week, a term which observers say indicates the 
case will be closed and the argu/do status of Robert Murat, along with Kate and 
Gerry McCann, lifted. 


Last April, Robert Murat 
launched legal action 
against 11 newspapers and 
one broadcaster in what was 
the highest number of claims 
ever made against different 
British media in the same 
case. 

Eight newspapers were 
specifically targeted, while 
three others were said to have 
been “peripheral” to the case. 

In their April statement, 
his lawyers had named the 
Sun, Daily Express, Sunday 
Express, Daily Star, Daily 
Mail, London Evening Stand- 
ard, Metro, Daily Mirror, 
Sunday Mirror, News of the 
World and the Scotsman. 

Speaking from outside the 
High Court on Thursday 
morning, Mr Murat said: 
“The newspapers in this case 
brought about the total and 
utter devastation of my and 
my family’s life and caused 
immense distress. 

“I’m pleased they have ad- 
mitted the falsity of their al- 
legations and I can start to 
rebuild my life. 

“I can emerge from this ac- 
tion vindicated with the rec- 
ognition and acknowledge- 
ment that what was said 
against me was wholly un- 
true.” 

Answering questions after 
he read out the above state- 
ment, Robert Murat said he 
felt “vindicated” and ex- 
pressed hope he could now ‘ ‘get 
on with his life” after months 
in the wilderness and being the 
victim of numerous attacks on 
his character in both the Brit- 
ish and Portuguese press. 

The out-of-court settle- 
ment reached this week, is 
£50,000 higher than that re- 
ceived by Kate and Gerry 
McCann earlier from the 
Express Group of Newspa- 
pers. 

Earlier this year, Robert 


Murat, who lives at a villa 100 
yards from where Madeleine 
was last seen, told The Portu- 
gal News that he was “just 
looking to get on with life”, 
and that he was not consider- 
ing possible legal action 
against the state should no 
charges be brought against 
him, however this position 
could change should the Attor- 
ney-General’s office admit it 
has come up empty-handed in 
the case on Monday. 

Earlier this week, the Attor- 
ney-General promised what 
he termed a “solution” to the 
case involving the disappear- 
ance of Madeleine McCann. 

Speaking to journalists on 
Wednesday afternoon, 
Fernando Pinto Monteiro 
said a statement would be re- 
leased on Monday. 

“In other words, the Maddie 
Case will have a solution next 
Monday which will be given to 
you [journalists]”, he ex- 
plained. 

Questioned further on what 
“solution” could be antici- 
pated, he refused to provide 
any further details, saying it 
would be what “is read out” on 
Monday. 

Earlier this month, Pinto 
Monteiro told magistrates 
dealing with the case to con- 
clude their work by the end of 
the month. 

These latest statements 
were seen on Thursday by the 
Portuguese press as an indica- 
tion that the case’s closure 
would be announced next 
week. 

Confronted with news ten 
days ago that police had appar- 
ently failed to solve the mys- 
tery surrounding 

Madeleine’s disappearance, 
Pinto Monteiro responded: 
“There are crimes that are 
solved, while others are not”, 
adding: “It is impossible to 
have a penal system where all 


crimes are solved.” 

While he was quick to ex- 
plain that the case was not 
closed, the Attorney-Gen- 
eral continued to focus on 
unsolved missing person’s 
cases. 

“This sort of crime is ex- 
tremely difficult to unravel”, 
highlighting that a million 
people are reported missing 
across the world each year 
and that 800,000 of these peo- 
ple are never found. 

Regarding criticism of the 
investigation into the case, 
he said: “All investigations, 
anywhere in the world are 
criticised when they are not 
solved”, later saying that in 
extensive and complex cases, 
“innocent people are some- 
times bothered”. 

Late last week, Gerry 
McCann wrote about how lat- 
est developments had af- 
fected him and his family: 
“There has been a lot of specu- 
lation in the press over the 
last 10 days that the investi- 
gation into Madeleine’s dis- 
appearance has closed. 

“We have not heard any- 
thing officially other than we 
know the files are with the 
prosecutor and the period of 
secrecy has been extended to 
14th August. Our independ- 
ent investigation continues 
and we urge people going on 
holiday to remain vigilant 
and consider taking one of 
our posters with them.” 

Next Thursday, former PJ 
police lead investigator into 
the case, Gon^alo Amaral, 
will be launching his book “A 
VerdadedaMentira”, or“The 
Truth of a Lie”. 

He has promised to be fac- 
tual, even if it is in “detri- 
ment to being politically cor- 
rect”. 

Madeleine McCann has 
been missing since May 3'^'*, 
2007.

Confrerie de la Chaine des 
Rotisseurs 



La Chaine Gang 


Last Saturday, the Algarve 
branch of the International 
Chaine des Rotisseurs met 
for lunch on the glorious 
shady terrace of Vivenda 
Miranda, a small and very 
special little Swiss owned ho- 
tel which is perched on top of 
a cliff at Porto de Mos, just 
west of Lagos. To many of us 
who live in Central and East- 
ern Algarve, the discovery of 
this secret gem came as a re- 
freshing surprise and cer- 
tainly made the journey on a 
warm day in July, well worth 
the effort. To be sipping a 
glass of Pommery while over- 
looking a tranquil marine 
landscape, dotted with small 
sail boats and with the pros- 
pect of a delicious lunch to 
follow. Estas sao as alegrias 
da vida. We were not disap- 
pointed as Chef Damian Beck 
provided a delicious meal 
which was accompanied for 
the most part by the excellent 
‘Verdelho’ from Herdade do 
Esperao. 


The Chaine des Rotisseurs 
was founded in Erance in 1 248 
during the reign of King St. 
Louis and the antique titles of 
some of the Officers are the 
same now as they were in the 
bygone age of Chivalry. Pic- 
tured above are some of the 
management of the Bailliage 
do Algarve together with 
members and some of the 
guests. Prom left to right, 
wearing their Chaine are Ana 
Perran - Baillive, Roderick 
Prew-Echanson, Jean Perran 
- Bailli de 1’ Algarve, Erla 
Walter - Dame de la Chaine, 
Manfred Braun - Conseiller 
Gastronomique, and almost 
hidden at the very right hand 
end is Michael Savage - 
Argentier. 

The next meeting will be a 
Gastronomic dinner which will 
take place at Restaurante 
“Ocean” at Vila Vita, Armacao 
de Pera. Por further information

Huge amount raised for the Bobby Moore Fund 


Last weekend Parque da 
Floresta Golf & Leisure Resort 
teamed up with legendary goal- 
keeper David Seaman MBE for 
the seventh year running to host 
his Safe Hands Charity Golf 
Classic, in aid of the Bobby 
Moore Fund for Cancer Research 
UK. The two-day competition, 
sponsored by Zurich Interna- 
tional Solutions and HSBC Glo- 
bal Asset Management, was a 
huge success, raising in excess of 
£145,000 for the charity. 

Twenty two teams partici- 
pated in the event, playing along- 
side David Seaman and person- 


alities from the world of sport 
and entertainment. The final 
winners, with a score of 86, were 
former international and Rugby 
World Cup winner Kyran 
Bracken MBE and Jamie Burton, 
Craig Y oung and T ommy Maher 
from Johnson Eitness. 

The weekend concluded with 
a glamorous gala dinner where 
guests bid for auction prizes in- 
cluding a unique bronze cast of 
Bobby Moore’s left boot which 
he wore in the 1966 World Cup 
final, raising £4,600 for the char- 
ity. Two lucky bidders also won 
an exclusive golfing experience at 


prestigious Loch Lomond, the 
number one golf course in Scot- 
land, with David Seaman MBE 
and ex-England International 
David Platt, paying £6,000 each 
for the privilege. 

The record figure was an- 
nounced ahead of an impressive 
firework display which lit up the 
Parque da Eloresta golf course, 
drawing a close to the event. 

The Bobby Moore Eund for 
Cancer Research UK raises 
money for vital research into the 
prevention and treatment of 
bowel cancer. The Eund was set

bailer Bobby Moore who sadly 
died of bowel cancer, aged just 
5 1 . The funds raised will be spent 
on high quality bowel cancer re- 
search carried out by leading sci- 
entists working across the UK. 
The money raised to date has 
funded 26 Bobby Moore Re- 
search Fellowships, a new bowel 
cancer laboratory at St Mark’s 
Hospital in London and 3 addi- 
tional research projects. 

David Seaman commented 
“The event was a huge success. 
We are delighted to have raised 
such a fantastic sum of money for 


The Bobby Moore Fund. Every- 
one was extremely generous and 
we ’ d like to thank all involved for 
their help and support!”

Wilson, ex-England Interna- 
tional David Platt, 1966 world 
cup winner Martin Peters MBE,

Carlos Queiroz confirmed as Portugal coach 



The Portuguese Football 
Federation (FPF) confirmed 
Carlos Queiroz’ s position as the 
national team’ s coach last week- 
end. After six years as Sir Alex 
Ferguson’s right hand man, 
Queiroz returns to coach the 
Portuguese national team, re- 
placing Luiz Felipe Scolari who 
has just moved to Chelsea fol- 
lowing Portugal’s loss in the 
quarter finals of the Euro 2008. 

Having signed a four year con- 
tract, Queiroz’ mission now is 
to guide Portugal through the 
qualifying stages of the South 
Africa World Cup 2012, start- 
ing on September 6'^’ against 
Malta. 

Carlos Queiroz was Portu-

newcoach ofthe national soccerteam, on Wednesday atthe the 1992 UEFA European 
federation headquarters in Lisbon. (Photo: Tiago Petinga) Championship qualifying 


games and their 1994 attempt 
for the World Cup in the United 
States, also leading the Portugal 
under -20’ s to victory in the 
1989 and 1991 EIEA World 
Youth Championship. 

Commenting on leaving Man- 
chester United and returning to 
coach Portugal’ s national team, 
Queiroz stated “I want to thank 
Manchester United for allowing 
me to return to Portugal”, add- 
ing “I am very proud and hon- 
oured to serve my country once 
again. . .it’s a very special chal- 
lenge and a position that every 
professional coach wishes for. 
Ever since Dr Gilberto Madail 
(EPE Chairman) first ap- 
proached me and presented me 
with this project I have been ea- 
ger to embrace this huge chal- 
lenge.” 


Real Madrid ‘bonding’ camp in the Algarve 



The Galacticos arrived at Vale do Lobo on Monday evening, en famile, for their pre-season training camp 
in the Algarve. The players spent most of their time relaxing with their families and team mates after 
having some gentle training sessions in the mornings. 


Their visit to the Algarve was 
to strengthen relationships be- 
tween the players, coaches and 
their respective families. 

V alter di Salvo, Real Madrid’ s 
fitness coach, employed the 
same idea to Manchester United 
when he was their fitness coach 
in 2003/2004, picking the same 
location so he was obviously 
pleased with V ale do Lobo . 

A total of nineteen players and 
their families were lodged in 35 
luxury homes in the Vale do Lobo 
complex. 

Euro 2008 Spanish champions 
Casillas, Sergio Ramos andDe la 
Red did not join the team as they 
were resting after their victory in 
the European Championships. 
Athletes participating in the 
Beijing Olympic Games did not 
come down to the Algarve either. 

Eor safety reasons and to keep 
the press away, security was re- 
inforced at the resort.

The Chelsea touch for 
The Dons 


MK Dons Football Club 
and their newly appointed 
manager, the former Chelsea 
midfield maestro, Roberto Di 
Matteo; flew out to Portugal 
on Friday 4* July. They were 
in the Algarve for a five day rig- 
orous pre-season training 
camp located at Barringtons 
training centre in V ale do Lobo . 

The squad worked through 
three sessions a day taking ad- 
vantage of the oustanding fa- 
cilities at their disposal. MK 
Dons were able to maximise 
their time at B arringtons due to 
the fact that all the facilities re- 
quired for such a complex train- 
ing schedule are on-site. They 
were able to utilise exclusively 
the football pitch, the gym, the 
two fitness studios, two ice 
baths and the two swimming 
pools. 

Carefully taking into ac- 
count the soaring temperatures 
Roberto Di Matteo scheduled 
3 sessions a day to include fit- 
ness sessions early in the morn- 
ing, core stability work in the 
afternoon and some lively 
evening football sessions. This 
meant that he felt it was pos- 
sible to get in as much as he 
wanted into the 5 days. He 
said, “ On a trip like this you 
try to get the most from it with 


regard to physical training and 
tactical training.” 

He explained that, “In the 
morning its mostly physical 
work.... then we have a core ses- 
sion in the afternoon to prevent 
injury. . . and then football train- 
ing in the evening, which is all 
ball related and high tempo.” He 
went on further to say that, 
“Thefacihties atBarringtons are 
excellent and the training has 
flowed very nicely. ” He felt that 
all the hard work done in the 
past five days would pay off in 
the months ahead. 

With the players getting 
themselves straight into the 
groove, it will mean that with 
only 5 weeks to go until until 
the start of the 2008/09 League 
One season, MK dons are al- 
ready one step ahead. It is with 
this in mind that the manager 
added that MK Dons want to, 
“Establish ourselves in League 
One and build a strong team and 
exciting team.” 

With the first game of the 
season on 9^’’ August away to 
League contenders Leicester 
City, Di Matteo and his squad 
are looking forward to the start 
of the season and hoping that 
all their hard work in Portugal 
atBarringtons Training Centre 
bears fruit.
